Your Driving and the Road newspapers, burlapbags, rags, floor mats -anything you can wrap around yourself or tuck under your clothing to keep warm. You can run theengine to keep warm, but be careful. Run your engine o d y as long as you must. Thissaves fuel. When you run the engine, make it go a little fasterthan just idle. That push the accelerator is, 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 headlights. Let the heater runfor awhile. Then, shut theengine off and close the window almost all the way to preserve the heat. Start theengine again and repeat thisonly 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. 150
