Fuel stabilizer for winter storage

I am getting ready to put my Mustang away for winter next month and was wondering if I should put fuel stabilizer in it, when I fill my gas tank. I wondered if anyone else does it for storage, the car will sit for about 5 months since the Ohio winters are miserable. Thanks!

I was told by a Rep. for a fuel stabilizer company that if the car is just going to sit use stabilizer. If you drive it a bit every several weeks just fill it up with 93 octane for the Winter.

I am currently deployed and that's how I stored my Stang..

Is there so much snow that you cant drive the stang or wont drive it in the winter. Five months is a long time without a hotrod fix.

We get alot of snow and sleet ,and they salt the roads heavy here.Once it gets in the salt ,the rust usually starts in 4 years. It will be a long 5 months waiting to drive it! Thanks to everyone for the fuel stabilizer advice!

That sucks. I can't imagine not driving my baby for 5 months.
