I'm in Atlanta, it doesn't get that cold here anyways, but I guess the less I use the glow plugs, the longer they'll last.

What's your take on this?

a 1991? Doesn't your car have afterglow? If so, the plugs stay on for a while even after starting, so you're gaining nothing by glowing less prior to start.
