I'm pretty sure I could go indefinitely without burning through a tank, with my commute I could probably make a tank last the life of the car if it wouldn't hurt anything. I chose the Volt because if I ever need to I can drive it up north without a hassle, but in reality I'll more than likely use my wife's Explorer for that. So in reality it's an EV for my purposes, and I made the mistake of filling the tank the day I bought it

So does a year of sitting idle harm the ICE in any way? If not I'll just leave the gas in there and drive in EV mode for a year.
