Default noob question, car not gonna be driven for 1 month

hey noob question here. So here goes, i'm leaving my car in Florida for 1 month, not gonna be driven. Is it better for it to have a full tank of gas or is it OK if I only have 1/3rd tank of gas? or does it not matter at all..

Disconnect the negative battery terminal and let it sit. It will be perfectly fine. You don't need to mess with anything else.

if you're SURE its only a month, you can prollly get away without fuel stabilizer, if you arent sure, 1/2tank gas with a can of sta-bil, drive it around a bit to get the sta-bil into the lines, and disconnect the battery before you let it sit.
