I know I use my Suburban to store "gasoline futures".  It has a 42- 
gallon tank and does not get driven very much.

As far as keeping a TR6 in big bag, I'd drive it around on Sta-Bil- 
ized fuel, do a hot dump of the oil, run it on the starter after  
putting in the fresh oil, then let it stand on its pump-up tires in  
the bag.

Of course the only part of this I got done on the TR4 this year was  
pump up the back tires.  Front end is still apart, but I will take  
care of that sometime this winter.
