Q: You remove gas that is up to several months old from your equipment (in prep for winter storage). What do you do with it? OK to put it in the car? What about the 50:1 gas-oil mixture from 2-cycle engines? Also OK to put in car?
I'm still learning (since getting more gas-powered equip since we're on a rural property now). I don't want to do any damage to the car engine... Local (respected) small engine and tool shop recommended putting it in car (along with a fresh full tank of gas, so that the proportion of older stuff is small). They also said I could take it to local hazardous waste disposal, and I don't like that idea really.

P.S. Looked for this specific issue, and found related comments but not enough real info ... and nothing on the gas+oil stuff.
