I've been storing them for 35 years now. Older cars needed fuel stabilizer.

The systems today are well sealed so low chance for moisture. The fuel will get somewhat stale without the stabilizer but isn't harmful and you'll burn through it in the spring. The alternative is to use a stabilizer but there is a small risk of damaging a cat or a sensor if you do -at least that was reported directly to me by Infiniti. There aren't any auto manufacturers I'm aware of that recommend using stabilizer for that reason. To me though a fuel injector cleaner must be a lot more harsh.

Top up your tank to minimize moisture being able to form and you're good to go.
