I have about 7 gallons of a year and a half old 93 octane from my Mustang + about 5 gallons of 3 year old 87 octane. Are they at all useable? the 87 smells weird. the 93 smells ok.

I put some of the 87 in it. Runs like chit. Think I could add octane booster to it? Would it hurt the mower?

if you put enough in, it will glow red. We put a bunch in a minbike 15 years ago and it glowed like rudolphs nose

Or perhaps you could use it to set fire to your keyboard.

next few times you change your oil, mix a little in each time, then take it to a parts place that recycles oil. if you bring in straight gas, they wont take it, but just mix a little in every time you change your oil, and they will neevr know the difference

put it in a spray bottle and use it for weed killer. It works better than real weed killer.

Yes it is very good weed killer, but since I live near a marsh, I have had to give up using it for that.

However, it is best used up in older, carbed vehicles, and lawnmowers. I would fill up with it before I started, and put some fresh gas in before I stored it, along with some Stabil, and run it before storing again. Run about half and half, and it should be able to be used with no problem.

My neighbors used to use it to burn brush off their lot next to me.

Set up a very large stencil that says "OWN3D" and dump it all in the stencil in your neighbors yard.

Feel free to put it in my Civic. It probably wouldn't make a difference....

Think I will use the old 87 octane for weed killer. The 93 will feed my riding mower. Thanks guys

Speaking of that. Before I asked I put a bunch in my mower and it ran real hot. Now it runs chitty even with fresh gas. What did I do???
