not starting car for 2 weeks

You can leave it at my house. I'll be sure to empty the tank of the old gas and refuel it right before you get back so you'll have fresh 92.

Just being FI'd, tuned and all, I may just be paranoid. Thanks for the replies, made me feel a little better, letting her sit for 2weeks.

Or you can park it ib ny garage and I take care of your car for you lol

I might take you up on that.. I'll get you some rum from the Dominican Republic for your time. Do you have a space in the garage?

by the way where you going?

Yea I heard from Bob at DriftOffice about gas, and how fast octane rating diminishes, especially from gas from a crappy station (not busy).

Example: 1 week at the pump station, 4 ~ 5 days in your car, add 2 weeks on top of that.

I am going to Disney World for 2 days, Universal Studio for a day, then to Dominican Republic for 1 week for our honey moon.

^^

I leave my BRZ for 1-3 months at a time. Starts every time. When I do start it I drive it for at least 20 minutes though.

The problem is I only have a single space in a two car garage. probably a better idea to leave it with your parents for liability reasons. My subdevelopment is only 10 yrs old so its pretty quiet with little foot traffic. I could leave my car outside for the sake of parking yours inside. Plus if mine gets stolen, i'll replace it with a 15' or monogram.

Here's the take home point. Buy ETHANOL FREE GAS if you can. Fill your car with it!

All other pump gas in western Washington is not worth the $ or the aggravation.
Just try one tank! You will be convinced. No Crickets, No Water in your Gas Tank, No stalling issues, No wavering idle; none of these problems!*
I will continue to use E0 as long as it is available.

*Don't mean to come off as Anti-Ethanol. Just telling each subscriber what works for me.
