Got caught off-guard by the storm in Massachusetts.

The Camaro had not been winterized yet. It has a full tank of premium with no Sta-Bil, and the oil hasn't been changed.

Now there's salt on the roads, and no rain in the forecast for the next 10 days to wash it away.:(

Question: does it make sense to put Sta-Bil into a full tank, or should I drive the car to the gas station, put in the Sta-Bil, and top off the tank to mix it in?

Plan B is to put it in the full tank, and then run the car in the garage for a while to get the peservative into the injectors and to watm up the engine for an oil change.
