Default Using mixed fuel in autos.

Not as is. If it was mixed at 100:1, I 'd dilute with another 30
gallons and use it for your lawn tractor or lawn mower. Or use it as
is for your weed whacker.

Using it as is in your car is not a good idea.

Works fine. Just add some to each tank of gas. I have run a Chevy S0 4.3L
on mixed gas years ago, and the truck is still running fine. When you run
out of gas in the middle of nowhere, you run 100% mixed gas. Ran fine, did
not see a difference in performance.

To each their own - I wouldn't do it.
