There lies your problem, maybe/probably. Whenever you are putting your car to rest for an extended period of time always always always put it away with a full tank of gas. All that surface area inside the tank that's not submerged in gasoline gets condensation on it, which drips back into the fuel. Sitting there long enough this will make your gas useless. If I were you I would somehow either drain the tank by disconnecting the fuel line to the engine and letting the fuel run into a container as you crank the car. You might be able to get away with filling the tank with the highest octane fuel you can get, 91 or 93. You just have to get the car to the gas pump or the gas to the car. But yeah, definitely make sure you're getting a spark before you go through this hassle...
