Message the roads I'll take it out, let it warm up and drive around the block once. At worst it would be sitting for the 2 deepest months of winter. Of course I can't *really* drive it because I have no insurance on it.

I have used fuel stabilizer 2 years and not used it one year. No noticable difference. Fuel these days is pretty resilient. This year I put in water remover as well. It all depends on the level of risk you are willing to take. Regardless I would baby the car for the first tank in the spring until you are able to put in some clean, new 93/94 octane.

You also might want to consider taking out the battery if you don't have anyway of starting the car up and moving it once in a while. Just so that it doesn't drain and then freeze. If you have your alarm(s) on, it will drain the battery pretty quickly. This year I'm not using the aftermarket alarm, just the key lock (+stock alarm).

I'm glad winter is finally here, I was starting to hate to have my Z off the road even when I could have been driving it. :)
