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.

I can have gas sit for a year of more with ethanol and carbs, I use sta-bil and or seafoam and or Driven carb defender. Add the right amount and the fuel is fresh for two years. I always am sure to empty the tank on the car within one year, and run it through my daily driver. Never had an issue with fuel since I started adding the fresheners. I can not get non ethanol gas either.
My 2 cents
