If a vehicle is going to sit for an extended length of time I fill the tank and keep it filled with gas that has no ethanol. Then start it once a week or two and let it get to operating temp and then drive it around the block a few times. Depending on its makeup, gas will start degrading in 1 to 6 months. Ethanol degrades faster. I use Chevron gas which is 93 octane for daily driving.

No oil treatment either. I change oil and filter every 5,000 miles or so. All vehicles have always passed the stale gas smell test and haven't had any problems.
Not all of us have plausible access to ethanol free gas.
