On our van most days the engine never starts at all. Then on the days when it does it warms up once like any other gas motor and then holds the heat fine for any times it shuts down. It's only off for a few minutes here and there like downhills or stopped at a light, not long enough to get cold again. For us using the gas motor is only about once a week or every two weeks.
We bought it 2.5 months ago and still have over 1/4 tank that the dealer put in. I think 200 gas miles and over 1000 electric. In a few weeks we go to Seattle and back so will get probably almost exactly the opposite over 4 days.
We just got off a different 1300 mile vacation zig zagging Montana and Wyoming in a Hemi Jeep pulling a teardrop camper getting 12.5 mpg so it will be nice to do the same miles on maybe 2 tanks in the van.
