Not true. The heat loss is constant and depends on the difference in temp between the hot thing (engine block) and the cold thing (air). If it starts reliably with 3 hours of heater, it saves 21 hours of 800 watts. Some have thermostats in them that use less total watt hrs when it is warm already, but the heater will likely be on 60% of the time in 0 degree weather (or more). The only reason to keep them ready to run is if the need is on demand and not at a specific time. I would throw a packing quilt over the hood and down the sides to keep in the heat to lower the cost.
