Starting it like this will only lead to moisture buildup from condensation.
If you want to start the car you need to take it for a run & really warm it up (15 -20 min drive) not just idle in the driveway.
Thanks Ian for this advice, as well as all of you who contributed this.

No problem....
Like others have said, best is to use the stabilizer, put her to bed & don't start it at all.

FWIW..
Here's a LINK to a winter storage article with lots of good ideas.

K i bought sta-bli and let me ask if I got this right before I pour it in. the bottle i bought is the 256ml, the small one. Says the whole bottle does up to 75l, so do i pour the whole thing in my tank? even though the coupe is 76l

Yes, the measure doesn't have to be that precise to one litre!! Be careful putting it in. You may have to pop fuel neck open with a screwdriver or something similiar since the neck on the bottle may not be long enough to push the surge cap down. Have a rag with you to protect against spillage.

Just remembered- if you have the stabil with the built in measuring device it's a pita but you'll get it done.

You're good to go if you can't see it in the filler neck which I'm sure you can't.

Be sure to run the car for 10-15 minutes. It may help with the mixing if you drive it a bit.
