It is funny that every gasoline powered engine I have ever seen said something like, "Drain and refill with fresh fuel before operating" in the instructions.

Nothing is needed to store a car over the winter in a northern climate.

Think about this: Many of the automobiles everyone has gone to great processes to park for about 3 months have, when they were new, sat on a dealers lot for that same period of time without any preparation whatsoever. Those same vehicles seem to have survived quite well.
FWIW:
"The longer a new car sits on a lot, the more motivated the dealer will be to sell it quickly. Most dealers take out loans in order to buy their inventory and they pay off a portion of the loans each time they sell a vehicle.
For each day that vehicle doesn't sell, the dealer keeps paying interest on that loan. The longer a car sits, the larger the interest cost grows.
Dealers typically don't mind paying interest for 30 or even 60 days, but when the car has been sitting on the lot for 3 months, that's when they really start getting nervous. They start worrying about losing money on the car if they don't sell it soon"
In addition a new car never "just sits" and it's a "new" car it better start. Again a can of SeaFoam is $6.50 and takes 10 seconds of your time. Disconnecting the battery 1-2 minutes.
YMMV

With that in mind, I have stored my Toyota Corolla for 4 months at a time with no preparation and it started up and ran just like it had been driven an hour before.
