Yikes, this could actually be a problem for us. We live in the SF Bay Area and usually get fuel here, but our TDI can go 700 miles on a tank of fuel. It is conceivable that we would make it to some temps that are well below zero within 200 miles. This past weekend we were up in Tahoe with it and it got down to -10F. The Touareg was parked in the garage at night, but was out driving in below zero temps. I guess we dodged a bullet there.
As the other poster said, you're probably okay as long as you are driving. Although, gel-ups do occur in over the road trucks while they are driving. But overall, yes, you can easily run into this situation if you buy diesel in a warm area and take the vehicle into the cold.
