FP there is a mandatory maintenance run for the IC engine that is determined by the car. I don't know if anyone knows what the algorithm is. Some say if the ICE isn't used for 45 days the car will start it and run it for 3 to 10 minutes. It's not enough to burn out old gas, so it must have some purpose other than ensuring that gas doesn't get old.
I've found it interesting that the only way I can tell whether it is running off the battery or off the ICE is the dashboard indicators. The car's behavior is identical and the sound is nearly the same.
