I'd drain and put in mostly fresh. 2 years = heavy varnish. Hopefully it did not varnish up the injection system....

I'd never let a car sit that long without at least running it once or twice a month....Gas goes bad in 3-4 months without stabilizer. Perhaps store it with only 2-3 gallons in it? That way if you run it an hour a month it will have fresh gas so long as you add a gallon or two each time.
Yeah, well we all have good intentions and I never thought it would sit so long without being run, but there it is. I am gonna get it running and fix a few things and start driving it to work, I think.
