General Question  bookish1's avatar  What condition should I
leave my car in over the summer?  Asked by bookish1 (13038
points ) June 2nd, 2012  I’m going to be out of the country for
2 months and my poor car will be languishing out on a hot
blacktop with no shade. (Note: I won’t be using it to return
from the airport at the end of my trip; I’m taking a cab.)
-Should I leave it with a full tank of gas, near-empty tank, or
does it not matter? -Is it especially necessary to change
oil/refill tires before I leave, or does that not matter? -Is
there anything else you can think of to suggest?  Thank you.
