Run your engine only as long asyou must. This saves fuel. When you run the engine, make itgo a little faster than just idle. That is, push the accelerator slightly.This uses less fuel for heat that you get and it keeps the the battery charged. You will need a well-charged battery to restart the vehicle, and possiblyfor signaling later on with your headlights. Let the heater run for awhile. Then, shut the engine off and close the window almost all the way to preserve the heat. Start theengine again and repeat this only when feel you really uncomfortable from the cold. But do it as little as possible. Preserve the fuel as long as you can. To help keepwarm, you can get outof the vehicle anddo some fairly vigorous exercises every half hour so until or help comes.
