dude... go with webastos heaters.  they hook up to your diesel tank  8)  and you can get remotes for them to turn it on 10-20 mins before you leave... imagine a near fully warmed car without block heater...

i wonder if it would run on veg oil???  i could see dirty veg oil gumming up the exhaust though... anyone have comments about that???
