    Around here a guy can get Ethanol Free Gasoline from newer QuickTrip's and Casey's stores. For me the QuickTrip sells 87 octane no corn, and the Casey's sells 92 no corn. If you purge all of the Ethanol blend and run no corn fuel you should be OK with your times away, especially if you add some Sta-Bil fuel stabilizer to the last fill before you take off. And leave with a full tank, minimal air space. Putting some jack stands under the 4 corners unloads the suspension, and prevents flat spots on the tires. My $0.02 and you may get other opinions.

    Enjoy the little things in life, and you may look back one day and realize that they were really the BIG things.

    Thanks, I was thinking of using the fuel stabilizer just wasn't sure. Getting it up on jack stands every time I leave may be more than I want to take on. I'll see if I can get it up on blocks just enough to clear. Thought I was done with the low profile jacks, looks like I need to pick one up. Also thought I was going to have the flat spot problem with the 37's on my jeep but didn't.
