Need advice. I cannot store my Celica inside this winter. I have not driven it for 3 months as well. I want to keep it long term, but don't know what I should do for upkeep it. The rust will probably get worse which is fine but I don't know if I should overinflate the tires and disconnect the battery or do nothing. Any advice is appreciated. I want to consider getting cheap indoor storage as well. Thanks!

It's not as bad as you think, I store my Celica for months at a time with nothing but fresh 93 in the tank and have no issues in the spring time with starting it. Cold weather really retards the decomposition of fuel, it's hot summer weather and large temperature swings that decompose it and cause the more volatile compounds to evaporate off. Tank of premium won't hurt, but it's over kill. Midgrade or regular are fine unless you have a turbo or high compression engine. Neither the 7A or 5S have anything to worry about, the Toyota factory tune is really forgiving and safe.
