I do not agree with half a tank of gas. Add Stabil fuel stabilizer, fill the tank and run the car to insure the treated fuel is completely through the fuel system. A partially filled tank will "sweat" with temp changes and condensation will form on the inside exposed metal causing corrosion after time. If you do start your car during the winter, remember to allow it to run for at least 20 minutes to completely come up to temp to burn off contaminant's (moister, fuel) in the oil. During initial start-up the fuel is enriched and excess fuel is washed passed the rings and into the oil, a lengthy warm-up will rid it. You can imagine if this took place multiple times and not burned off how contaminated the oil can get.
