A common rule in the mountains is to keep you gas tank full so that if you slide off the road or get stranded and can't move you will be able to keep the heater running until help arrives.

I hear they burn real well.
Think of it as a twofer.

2-Its a signal fire.

With the Volt, probably not. It can go a long time on the gas in the tank as long as it’s sitting idle. The battery just loses capacity due to the cold. The engine will cycle on and off to maintain the heat.
