You might also consider Stabil...

You might consider Stabil or some other fuel stabilizer.
Gas can separate into it's various fractions if it sits
still long enough, with the least volatile portions
becoming gummy deposits that might clog narrow
injector lines etc.
Stabil can be bought at any car-parts store. You
drive with a near empty tank to the gas station, and
put in the right amount of stabil, and then fill the tank.
Drive the car enough to thoroughly mix the gas and
get the treated gas throughout the system, and then
either top it off or just park it.

What's the deal with storing a car in a garage in Arizona or some other smokin' hot summer location? Any storage precautions required to fight against the heat?

I use the STABIL in my jetski when I put it away for the winter, it has always worked well, no problems in the spring.

Nothing up my sleeve for now, winter is here. Maybe an H2 beater.

SilverStar was great by the way, I will definitely do business with them in the future. You pay a little more, but it's worth it.
