- connect a float charger (not trickle charger), leave the hood open
- inflate tires to about 5 psi above the recommended pressures

I don't add any fuel stabilizer and I leave the car parked for the duration without starting or warming up.
I drive my car for about an hour once a week, and was starting to think/worry about whether this would affect my car from sitting, but your post provided me with some assurance that it's okay, so thank you
