Gas
I was wondering how much gas you keep in your vette if you only drive it once or twice a month, also do you put any type of fuel stabilizer in the tank.
If you use a fuel stabilizer what brand ( if you can post brand names not sure of the rules).
Thanks

I don’t worry about the fuel in the summer time. I drive similarly to you. In the winter when it sits the most I make sure it’s full. In the winter if the roads are clean and dry I will pull it out for a run.

If you only drive once or twice a month, I would try to keep the tank full. I would also use Stabil or Seafoam in the tank. Welcome to the forum!

When stored, full with 93 non ethonal, otherwise just mostly keep the tank full and run techron thru about twice a year.

I have been using Shell 92 octane (don't have unleaded avail) & Techron. I try not to get the fuel level below 1/2 tank...Enjoy the Vette!

If I am not going to drive the car for a while, I put in a bottle of Sta-Bil and fill the tank with gas.

OOPS, I wanted to say w/ethanol 92 octane Shell. I've been using Techron since '99 & have not had any gas gauge issues...
