Default Gas Question

So my car has been sitting over 2 years. I drained out all the gas about 3-4 months ago and added new fuel to it but haven’t had time to finish on it to start it up. Should I drain out the gas again or is I still good after 3-4 months of no use?

I think it is still ok to use. I think at the 6 month mark I would drain it again.

its fine, but put some stabilizer in it in case you go another few months, which turns into another few months, which turns into a year, etc.
