Put it in the middle of your gravel driveway, light a match and stand back. This might not work if you live in the city.

And don't get the stuff on you, it stinks! BTW: it make a whole lot of smoke, you may want to burn it night. Hey, with todays gas prices, put it in containers and out at the curb with a sign Free Gas! It will be gone quick.

Give it to the lawn and garden maintainers, lawn mowers don't seem to care to awful much and mixed in with good gas I'm sure they can make good use of it.

Yeah, just mix it with good gas and burn it in an engine.

What makes it "bad" anyway?

After a while it starts to turn to....well...just crap good for nothing, and it is amazing how fast gas goes bad anymore. Depending on how much you have is the real problem, a gal. or two mix it with good stuff and run it in a mower (nothing two stroke) I would do nothing less then 4:1 good to bad. If it is a lot that is another matter. My old 8n will run on just about anything, that is where most of my old stuff goes.

I put it in a paint can and toss it in my fier pit and light it. no explosions and it burns away for you. There are also local recycling centers as well that you can drop this stuff at.

Put it in the lawn mower or whichever motor you have that is lowest on the food chain.

Just stand clear of small animals, young children, women, and elevators and let er rip. And from now on, you should really stay clear of Taco Bell. It'll get ya every time.
