****I don't know if this is such a good solution either... Letting a partially or mostly empty gas tank sit for months is a way to get rust on the inside... The procedures I have seen for preparing a car to sit in storage for a period of time include filling the gas tank completely, then adding a fuel stabilizer. My motorcycle's gas tank got pretty rusty on the inside from sitting for a while with a mostly empty gas tank... Pick your poison!

Sounds like someone had the best idea - just drive that thing regularly and you don't have to worry about it!!!
