Do you really need to fill the tank up if it’s being stored in your garage? Cause doesn’t gas go “bad” after a while? ---

If the car is stored somewhere without heating, the full gas tank prevents moisture from accumulating in the air. But i dont think gas goes “bad” after 6 months. ---

Gas does go bad, sometimes in as little as a few months. But its after a year that its not good to run it and you’ll probably notice shitty performance. Throw some fuel stabilizer in it just incase. ---
