Low gas/cold weather

Just wanted to know if you let your gas tank get super low (which you shouldn't) in the NYC in the winter, then let it sit for a week, should you throw in some dry gas/gas treatment, just curious......

It wont hurt~
Less than full gas tank attracts condensation, and the right stuff will break the droplets so they can pass thru and be expelled during combustoin

Seafoam works well for this job too, or regane or other dry gas product
Read the label, many are just alcohol

Cool, thanks, I was just curious since it's been a cold week here in NYC and I know when I parked my car on last Sunday the tank was pretty low, so I'll go with some dry gas, Seafoamed the TL about 2,000 miles ago, thanks for your advice 01tl4tl

Hey fsttyms1, you wouldn't really know that unless your car starts acting funny right? I mean, I've never had a problem with the gas station I use, but I probably won't put anything besides the gas now, just was concerned with having a pretty empty tank and it being so cold all week.
