I had 2.5 gallons of 2 cycle gas that I no use for as all my 2 cycle gear was replaced with battery powered tools. It was a couple of years old as it was shuffled to the back of my storage building. I dug it out, and poured it into the 21 gallon tank of my El Camino and never noticed any changes.

OTOH, I had some hopped up VP racing gas with propylene oxide and dinitromethane added in that I put in the rotary lawn mower to get rid of it. That 3.5 HP Briggs and Stratton became a little monster. Where it used to bog in the thicker grass it mowed that grass with anger. After setting for a week a lot of those additives evaporated or eventually I would have had the rod slap out of the side of the case.
When I said "get rid of it" it could have been either one, the gas or the mower. No way can a normal engine survive that kind of fuel.
