I haven't heard of too many people using fogging oil in their car engines. I suppose if you lived in a really humid area, you could, but if you're only storing it for one winter, it shouldn't be a problem.
Depending on your local gas quality, it might not be a bad idea to use some fuel stabilizer to keep the gas from going bad as it sits. However, that would mean you'd need to drive it around the block, so the stabilizer would get worked through the system.

The Aquamax...yes, this bike spent 2 nights underwater one weekend. (Not my doing), but it gained the name, and has since become pseudo-famous. :)

I use to fog mine with OMC fogging/storage oil. Now that I have a heated shop I'm usually moving the vehicles around during the winter so I haven't done that for the last 2 or 3 years. I figured it couldn't hurt if the engine isn't going to run for the next four months, and the car alway started up in the spring with out a problem.

I store both my Chevelles from about this time each year until about March.  I have never fogged them.  I just change the oil, fill up the tank, put some stabil in it, clean it, stuff a rag in the tail pipes and cover it.
