I have slept in the car on many occasions, even whilst camping. With a bad back the car seat is bliss compared to my tent. Four of us slept in the car on Rannoch Moor one winter after getting back late and finding the road blocked by snow. We didn't freeze to death or suffocate as we were properly prepared for the conditions.
If I was bugging out with my family in a full on SHTF scenario then I can't think of a time when we'd all be asleep. Either my wife or I would keep watch over little one and I wouldn't leave the car other than to keep sentry. If I'm sat in the car and need to exit fast then I twist the ignition key and press the accelerator. I wouldn't want to be trying to round up the rest of the family, pack up and get back into the car.
With a full tank of fuel I can get a realistic 700+ mile range which means Lands End or John O'Groats or anywhere in between and runflats means I should have no need to stop and make the in car/out of car sleep decision.
