I wonder.

My two stroke chainsaw fired up on the second pull today. I haven't used
it for about a year, and there was still gasoline/oil mix in its tank.

I always have a couple gallons of gas on hand from the previous year.
Usually I take it to a nearby service station and ask if they will discard
it for me so I can refill the can with new.
