Basically, you want to know what happens if you ignore this issue?
Well, if you ignore the coolant too long, the radiator could blow its relief valve once the engine and coolant get too hot... then you end up with an overheated engine. Force an overheated engine to run too long after that and you get a damaged engine... and possibly, you stuck in the middle of nowhere.
Until you're stuck somewhere, a hotter than normal engine will cause 'knock' (where the fuel starts burning too early), forcing the timing to retard out of efficiency range, and overall using up more gas. Not to mention the damage to the engine caused by too much knock.
