Doing that is one of the worst things you can do to the engine. Unless you are going to run the car at highway speeds for 20-30 min., you are far better off to follow some others advise about fuel stabilizer, fresh oil, a good battery maintainer, and then just let it sit. We do this with several special customer cars every winter, never had a problem.
