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