Normally, dump it in the truck, but I can get away with a lot, my truck is a 1996 Dodge.

Dump it in anything carbed / low performance.  Lawn mowers, old trucks, Fords...

Pour it in the gutter while your neighbor is washing his car.

The straight gas yes. I put premix in my Toyota truck one time, it clogged the fuel filter  :? The lawn mower doesn't care but I use about 2 oz of fuel a month mowing the lawn, I don't need a 10 year supply  :lol:

Interesting; I have never had pre-mix do that. You could save it as a cleaning solvent. I used to use gas to clean everything when it cost pennies per gallon.  :lol:

Parts cleaner/weed killer looking like a good option. I don't want to dump gallons of gas in my yard though, a little sure, but gallons... no  :lol:

Put 1 gallon of gas in 4 gallons of oil and take it to a Recycling center. All oil has fuel in it.

Put it in a five gallon bucket with the lid popped up on half of it and it'll be gone in a year. Put it in a safe (open air) location.
