Winter Hibernation

1. You fill your tank to reduce condensation
2. You use fuel stabilizer (STA-BIL is best) to prevent the fuel from getting stale (which, yes, it does)
3. Fill the tires to 45 PSI to prevent flat spots - do not exceed max on tire
4. Consider covering the car - BUT ONLY IF IT IS CLEAN. Car covers over a dirty car scratch.
5. Put the car on a batter tender
6. DO NOT START THE CAR until you are ready to take it out of hibernation. See condensation comment above.
7. Consider changing the oil BEFORE storage - not AFTER. This is just a best practice, not the end of the world either way.

I feel like I'm being punked...

Just pointing out that I have read opposing views on how much gas one should leave in the tank and wanted to get constructive feedback.
