Does this sound plausible, 300D moved from south Ga to Chi town

I recently sold an 85 300D that ran/runs great to a guy in Chicago. The fuel that was in the tank when it was shipped up there was probably put in the car in Oct/Nov and the car sat in guys garage for weeks on end. The new owner emailed me saying that the fuel gauge got to 1/4 and did not change after filling up and after he had taken a 40 or so mile trip at 60+ then got stuck in traffic during which time it was running rough and stalled. He let it sit for a few mins and it started. I suggested he get some antI gel in the tank. I'm thinking the Ga summer blend is probably not working very well in cold Chi town. Any thoughts/comments?
