I seem to remember a post like this a while back, but couldn't find it while searching, so I apologize if this is a repeated question.

In about two weeks, I am leaving home for college and my 'tour will be sitting in our garage, being driven hardly at all until I return in in December. What kinds of things do I need to do before I leave to ensure that I don't return to a car that won't run? Should I put in a full tank of gas, or leave it mostly empty? Change the fluids right before I leave or right after I come back? Anything else?

Thanks.
