It could depend on how the vehicle is used.  If the car is parked
overnight and driven every day, so that it never sits for more
than about 16 hours at a time, all should be okay.  However, if
the car is parked for three weeks at a time between being driven,
the result would likely differ.  If the Pi draws around 250mA
while running, in 24 hours it would consume 6 Amp hours.  After
about 10-15 days, the battery would be completely drained.
