Yours must be better than mine or you keep it running all the time.

I run mine on a time delay to turn on 3ish hours before I leave in the morning if I work and that will keep it at +50 of the ambient temp outside, normally. Like this past weekend it was -10 overnight, car was +45-50 when I went to start it.
