Gas and short term use

I have a question.again.

Looking for advise on best way to maintain a low milage low use/gas

Is it better if you drive you vette and keeping milage off it. I Drive a few miles a month. The question is would it be better to keep the gas tank full or low?
I use Shell V Power and add some Techron
Some say keep it full to avoid condensation and goes bad.
And some say unused will gum up.

Any suggestions
 
Never been worried about putting mileage on my cars. As I once heard someone say , "too many people worry too much about the NEXT owner of their car."

As for gasoline, I have often had months go by and not drive the vettes. They still run fine even sitting for so long, and so far have not seen any damage caused by the older gasoline sitting in the tanks.

I think the gas systems are sealed up pretty well, so I don't think I would worry a whole lot about evaporation being a big problem. Not unless you plan on letting the car sit for years, I guess. And if that were the case, unless it's an immediate collectible, you might as well sell it and buy something you aren't worried about driving as much as you want.

You're really right I should drive it and enjoy it. I really don't plan on getting rid of it so. I just don't trust parking it at the parking lot in Walmart LOL :popcorn_02:

:thumbsup: I don't know about you, but it certainly puts a smile on my face when I am behind the steering wheel in a Corvette. The world can always do with more smiles, I believe.
 
I know I sure had a smile on my face doing 80 in 45. I know its hard to watch your speed. I wont let it happen again
