What you should do is use up the gas to have 1/2 a tank or less and 
put some extender in it. Also, change the oil and filter. This is the 
minimum. You can also, flush the brake and clutch lines with new 
fluid and lastly you can put the car up on jackstands. It is a good 
idea to put a heavy plastic sheet under the car to keep condensation 
from forming on the underside that can come up from the ground/ 
cement under the car. There are many other things that others will 
suggest as well, such as wash the car, cover the car, and put some 
dry packs in the passenger compartment. I am sure that there are 
somethings that I have forgotten.
Good luck,
