Don't drive around with hardly any gas in the car and assume things will be good on the roads this winter. Trouble could be around the turn when you risk driving with a low fuel level. Consider a few of these issues you might be dealing with.

The lighter rear end of your vehicle because the tank is empty means the car can fishtail on icy roads. A full tank of gas adds considerable weight to the vehicle and allows the back tires a better chance of gripping any road surface. Take a chance and drive with a low level of fuel and you will be sorry if the car breaks down because of a flat tire or another issue. Without the chance to use your heat in the car, it could be you are risking hypothermia in a freezing car.
