I've experienced problems with carbs after sitting for a month with 10% ethanol. Fuel injection is a lot more tolerant of sitting because the system is sealed from the gas tank to the injectors. Still, I don't like to let cars sit becuase crap does happen to the fuel after enough time.

Go for a good long hard drive, get down to the fuel low light coming on, then refill with fresh gas. If you run into problems, put some Techron concentrate in it and continue driving. Otherwise, drive it regularly.

Cars are for driving. If you want art, get something you can hang on the wall!
