Default proper up keep

I moved from ca to co in august for school and i just could not part from my crx, so i brought her with me.

now that we are here i dont drive as often as i thought i would...i havent gotten gas since i have been here(aug 26)

just want to know what i should be doing so that the motor and any moving parts stay sound. I drive her around about once a week for twenty min...anything else?

I have an ls motor if it matters...

thanks guys(by guys i mean guys and girls...)

my car's gas sat in the tank for over a year and had no probs. out of it. you'll be fine in just a month. as far as up keep. it sounds like you drive it around enough to not have to worry about it. just make sure that every time you start it up to get it atleast to proper operating temperature before you shut it off.

Try to keep the gas tank full otherwise moisture will build up and rust out the gas tank. I've had a rust gas tank and it wasn't fun. Not only drive it for a little while, but run the AC at least 10 minutes at least once a week. This will lubricate the seals and the inside of the compressor..
