I think you have the right idea of filling up on Chevron 94 or Shell 91 (if it is still ethanol-free in Western Canada - check to be sure.) I've only ever used fuel stabilizer on my Alfa Romeo Spider (mechanical fuel injected/carbureted,) carbureted motorcycles, and Honda lawn mower that isn't used for months at a time (no VTEC, sorry.)

I have a Fiesta ST. It normally gets 94 anyway so I'll just top up as usual. I guess to be "better safe than sorry", I'll put some stabilizer in anyway.
It'll be garage parked, do I really need storage insurance? What does that cover?
To combat tire flat spots, I'll probably roll out into the driveway, do some random maneuvering and pull back in to change up the tire position every month.
