Storing a 1st gen RX-7

how long can u let a car sit before you should be using a gas stabilizer ?

MODS: please do not move this post to GENERAL AUTOMOTIVE!!!! I posted this there yesterday and the 9 people that actually look in there didn't have an answer for me. I know there are many in this section that store their 1st gens every year and will therefore likely have some kind of answer.

feel free to delete my post in General Automotive if you must.

thanks, the winter storage part i get, it's more for this summer. i will drive the car but not all that much. i guess it won't hurt to throw a bottle of the stuff in right? just don't want my gas turning to jell-o because i let the car sit too long. (not sure how long that takes to happen)
