On my diesel truck in sub zero temps, I plug it into 110 and the fuel heater works well. that works great at home, but after sitting for 9 hours in -30 degree windchill, the only thing to get it started is a shot of starting fluid in conjunction with the glow plugs. Doing this compromises the oil in the engine, but a small shot of either won't hurt that bad as long as you shorten the oil change period to compensate.

I realize that you have a gas motor, but part of the problem is when the fuel gets cold the flash point is almost non-exsistant, so maybe a warm can of starting fluid might help.
