The Charger will sit in the garage during winter for the most part, unless the roads are completely dry, which is rare during winter around here. Do I need to stabilize the fuel or is 5-6 months not long enough to worry about it?
Stabilizer needed for 5-6 month storage?

No.
i would put some and run it until it goes through injectors, the worst thing it would be is a waste of a few dollars if is not needed but if you don't put some in and goes bad way more problems

It certainly wont hurt to put some stabil 360 or 360 marine in the tank and run it to make sure its in the injectors. Cheap insurance IMO.
I use stabilizer in any e-10 or greater fuel that will sit more than 2 months. In addition, also add 1oz of tcw-3 to 5 gallons and run that through all my ope carbs for winter storage.

I frequently use Stabil, or one of the popular brands found at West Marine or other boat supply stores. Also try wholesalemarine.com . Make sure to shop around, as the prices can vary widely: since this is a common item at marine supply houses, its usually prices pretty reasonable.

Meh. Run Stabil just in case. Worst case is a few bucks wasted.
I store a 2015 direct injection Corvette from mid November to April every winter. In a garage that over the winter is heated to 40 degrees.
No stabilizer, and so far, no issues.

Tank size has little to do with it as long as its full, its the few ounces left in the injectors that can be a possible issue.

I would use some. Costs little.
Sometimes we ask a question, and we already know the answer.....
That being said, add the Stabil, top up your tank, and by the time you get back to your home, it would be mixed and through the fuel lines...….do it just for peace of mind!

None of the gas stations around here sell E0.
I ended up adding some Sta-Bil 360. Thanks everyone!

If you want to use a stabilizer that works use PRI-G.

Why do people assume E0 is available in all areas ? We cannot get it at all in the DC / Baltimore / Annapolis area.

Not "exactly" true Rubberchicken. Granted, you won't find it at any run-of-the-mill stations but, if you're willing to pay for it, there are plenty of places that sell E0 racing fuels. If your only concern is winter storage it's not worth the cost and hassle, just add some Lucas ethanol fuel stabilizer and fahgeddaboutit.
