15 minutes is well on the long side. It should only take about 5 minutes for the car to reach full operating temperature. Check to see if the thermostat is stuck open or the wrong temperature (stock is 84 degrees).

Another thing, how are you warming it up? If you are just letting it idle in your driveway, don't. It's a waste of time and fuel. Just start the car, put on your seatbelt, and then drive it.
