Your mileage will suck. Because the engine will never have a chance to warm up. Carbon deposits could be an issue as well. If possible, I'd find an alternate route home that will add 10 minutes or so and let it run warm for a bit. It'll be a nice way to wind down from the day and give your car a chance to blow out some carbon.
