Now I know this isn't much of a problem (especially in Atlanta), but I'm not sure a diesel can get up to operating temps to be very efficient in 1.5 miles. I won't be driving it to work only. I'm often out and about during the day, but mostly I'll be driving to work. I'm on the road about 3 min. before I get there.
Any comments or observations? Should I just get an efficient gasser?

Well.... We live in a "consumer based society" right? Get up earlier, drive to get a paper, drive over to Starbucks (through the drive thru) and get your Latte then head over to the park to do some reading. When your all pumped up on coffee... Head to work and "let them have it"!!
The car should be nice and warm by then.
