You might what to add some fuel saver to the gas tank as ethanol will dissipate in a short period of time ... I added it in my tank last year and again a few weeks ago

Definitely add the fuel saver (e.g. Stabil), and best to a full tank as you've already done. Note it is important to run the engine for 5 minutes or so to get the fuel saver throughout the fuel system, not just in the tank. I've been using it since 2010 on my Porsche, every winter. Also not a bad idea to move the car once or twice over the winter - either really run it at some speed so it fully warms up and/or put it in neutral and roll it like a foot or so to move the tires to a different spot. 49psi helps, but still better to move as well.
I live in NY and drive all year long. Just put some All Seasons. Surprised how good the Michelin AS4 are.
If snow storm I drive the other car but our cars are pretty good in snow with good tires.
i just did the same thing with my C63s and E63s wagon - battery tenders plugged in - hoping to get one day of nice weather in between storms to do a proper wash on the wagon and then cover them up until Spring ready to terrorize the streets of UT - HA!!!!
i too am curious about "stand-by" mode - what is that?
It's also recommended to get an oil change beforehand. Make sure you make a note of the non-operational time standby mode displays, and make sure it's long enough, otherwise you need to hook it up to a trickle charger as well.
For those curious about standby mode. I think it's only available for NTG 5.5 and higher.
