Don't know if this is the right place to post this or not. What do you guys do with your old mixed gas?

I have a gravel driveway and dump it there. Not very environment friendly I know. Any old oil I have is burned to heat my son in laws shop but I don't like mixing very much gas in it. You might take it to a recycling plant?

I put it in one of my gas engine vehicles.
It costs about $8.00 a gallon to dispose of it in my area and they put it into their vehicles.

Ditto down here.
Old fuel goes into "er" car.
As it is computer controlled it can burn almost any liquid fuel and by the time you put a gallon or two into a 5 gallon tank the dilution factor is so low as to be functionally not there.
my vehicle runs 100% LPG before you ask why I inflict this on my other half.

I just pour it into the mower tank and use it as any gas. Yes, it's in theory not good for the carburetor but I clean my carb at end of every season when I change oil, clean the deck and etc. I honestly don't see the effect of occasional old gas when cleaning the carbs. I've used gas sitting in my neighbor's can for over 6 months.
