I'm surprised no one else suggested this. Our gas tanks are a saddle type, so it would be pretty difficult to get all of the fuel out by siphoning. However, I was just outside feeling around under the car, and I think there is a drain plug on both sides of the tank. I'm doing an oil change on the weekend, so I'll have a look-see while I'm under there.

I'm fairly sure our tanks are plastic, so condensation shouldn't be an issue.
I'd run the gas tank low, change the oil, put a good dose of stabilizer in the tank, go for a rip around the block, then park the car and get all the fuel I could out of it. I park the Mustang for 6 months of the year (damn winter), and leave the gas in it (with stabilizer). I haven't had any problems doing that for 7 seasons now, but 2 years gives gas a long time to turn into poo.
