How do you dispose 2-cycle gas/oil mixture after the snow season?
Original Message Feb 16, 2011 6:10 pm

Hi guys,

What is the best/responsible way to dispose remaining 2 cycle gas/oil mixture? Straight gas is easy, I just pour it into one of my cars.

Sorry, clicked submit on the wrong window. That was a recipe for a virgin cocktail drink meant for the AA forum.

So are you getting a 2-stroke single stage snowblower?

I am looking at an used 2010 Toro 210 or 2006 3650GTS. They are asking $300 for either one. I will post when I get one.

If you get a 2 stroke string trimmer, edger, and leaf blower, you can use the gas mix all year long, no need to worry about disposing of it. Just a thought.

No Toro 221Q in your short list? Everyone who has used the Quick Chute will tell you it's is well worth the extra cost.

Maybe as my local Toro dealer wants $549 for a brand new 221Q. It makes no sense to buy an used 3650GTS for $300.

Not a bad price for a new 221Q. Are you getting one this winter? There's still time to tango. :)

How do you justify (to your spouse) buying another snowblower after buying a Honda snowblower only a few months ago?
