How much gas should i have in the gas tank when i put in storage?
Is there anything else i should do to the car before i put in for storage?
Car will be parked in my garage and this is 1st time i will be storing car.
Thanks in advance for your input.................

Seems the Best Practice is to not drive after changing the oil for winter storage. Used oil in the engine turns acidic regardless of how low miles driven after changing. Other winter prep steps include: filling up the tank; air up the tires to 50 psi to prevent flat spots; put battery on battery maintainer; give the car a good wash and put cover on; I put chock blocks on front wheels and put gear in neutral and release the parking brake.
