if you want to drive it every other week, then do nothing except put some fuel additive in

Agreed. If you plan to store it away for a few moths or more, then there are further steps to take. A week or two shouldn''t need anything...especially in a garage. My car sits in my garage for weeks on-end sometimes, and it's fine when I take it out. Just let the engine idle (no throttle!) for a minute or so after starting.

Don't bother with fuel additive. My car sits for about 5 months at a time with nothing added to it and it does perfectly fine. Just keep a battery tender hooked up if it's going to sit for more than two weeks and you'll be fine.

yup, i just said that to be on the safe side

i have a car sitting that has 4 year old gas in it, and it starts fine, also i started a car with gas that was in the tank for 11 years and it started great.

Pace how much does a decent battery tender run ya? I might need to pick one up for this winter while the BallerMaro is resting in the garage---I just got back from a week long trip and didnt drive her the week before (bad weather), and came down to drive her today and the battery was dead. 11 month old battery too. I guess it finally got cold enough here to drain the cells---needless to say, I was pissed.

I stored my car for a week with the battery connected to come back and the battery was dead.

I unhooked the negative terminal and stored it for 2 months. Hooked it back up and she started right up.

This is the one that I have. You can find it cheaper from other places, but it definitely works well when the car sits for longer times or if you accidentally run down the battery. We liked it so much that we bought two more (one for the other car and one for the plane) and a smaller one for the motorcycle.
