If any of you are considering the electric mat heater there is one very important part that wasn't mentioned...you MUST power it from a GFCI supplied source. Laying on the ground trapped between your car and an electrical grid could be fatal if a leak developed. The manufacturers of heat mats all require GFCI protection in their installation instructions.
