Run your engine onlyas long as you must. This saves fuel. Whenyou run the engine, malteit go a little faster than just idle. That is, push the accelerator slightly. This uses less fuel forthe 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 headlights. Letthe heater run for awhile.

Then, shut theengine off and close the window almost allthe way to preserve the heat. Start the engine againand repeat this only when you feel really uncomfortable from the cold. But do it as little as possible. Preservethe fuel as long asyou can. To help keepwarm, you can getout of the vehicle and do some fairly vigorous exercises everyhalf hour or so until help comes.
