I don't know anyone who would recommend to store gasoline for more than a few months (except you). Maybe I should give you the benefit of the doubt. What you meant to say was get a couple gallons and add fuel stabilizer to it.....blah, blah, blah Store gas for not much more than a year!?!?

Make sure that they are not worn too low. Winter driving requires that your tires have enough tread for you to be able to handle icy roadways. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS!

Thank you Chris! I know that those may seem like basic tips to some, but this is the first winter that I have my license so the tips are appreciated very much.

Thank you Chris!

People acting as authorities on anything and everything when they are not. This leads to inaccurate information being passed from person to person. Yes, methanol is bad if INGESTED (it can cause death), but don't try to feed me crap about carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide for that matter. You really need to have someone look your information over before you pass it on when you go outside your realm of expertise. I've heard you ramble about those that pass on inaccurate information and here you do the same thing......Shame on you. How do you think you are going to look with your name associated with a false status on Snopes?? This is exactly what is wrong with the internet.

Also applies to your mother, the dog, ..... Carbon Dioxide is produced by every living animal!!!!! I'm not sure I want methanol on my paint but Carbon Dioxide, NOOOOOOO. Syguy Chris,

It also makes me very thankful to have a heated garage. Anyhow, these are some very nice tips that I will consider using this, and following winters.

I don't even own a car, and i know the pain of cleaning of my parents card. :( the ice scraping of the windows. breaking ice off the windows and doors, so that they can open.

Even as far as Jacksonville is, you don't have to deal with scraping windshields. No frozen locks either. I've only had one car where the locks would freeze. A good graphite lubricant is really all you need if your locks do tend to freeze. If you're in the midwest (like I was) you don't have to worry about keeping your gas tank full as much, as all the gas sold has some level of Ethanol in it, which will make the water combine with the gas and not freeze in your gas lines. Cheap windshield washer fluid is chemicals? They're all chemicals, even if you only use water. Methanol is wood alcohol, and the claim that methanol turns to carbon dioxide only happens when it's burned. Yes, you can suffer from methanol poisoning, but that has nothing to do with carbon dioxide. Summer is when you kill your battery (because of the heat), but winter is when you find you've killed your battery because the car needs more juice from the battery to get the colder engine moving.

Some of them you wouldn't even think of, but help. However, in the Video, Chris says Carbon Monoxide, but in the blog, it says Carbon Dioxide, which isn't deadly at all. Very good tips.
