Always remember to keep at least 5 miles of elec. range in your pocket as you switch back and forth between normal and hold modes.
I don't think my 2012 Volt has "hold" mode, unless I missed seeing it in the manual. I like your 60 mile Ev range, btw!

If nothing else , run it long enough to bring the ICE up to " normal " operating temperature . Drive off condensation & keep the seals " wet " .
That's what I was worried about, leaving the motor sitting unused for a year at a time would probably dry out the seals. I think I'll leave the current tank of gas in it, and just run it on ICE once a month for half an hour to move the fluids
