The key is NOT to run the car for 6-10 hours in one lump. Do what you need to get done then shut it off.
A normal car should stay warm for at least a half hour to 45 minutes (not counting body heat) as long as you keep the doors and windows closed. We're not talking about a long weekend in Cancun, we're talking about Getting By.
This also applies to generators unless we're talking about pimped out Gucci generators with diesel engines and underground fuel tanks.
Look up what I meant by Duty Cycle.
