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.

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. Real easy you have 2 options If your car has half a tank or more just add to your car or add 2 liters (1/2 gallon) of gas to your oil mix gas and use it in your lawnmower. Next time no need to pre-mix buy a turkey baster add straight gas and add 1/2 a shot of oil mix and stir with the turkey baster take a sample and if the colour is midium blue you are good to go. No need the waste time trying to mix 32-1 or 40-1 or 50-1
If you are getting paid for what you are doing No matter how much you Enjoy it, It's a Job

I have to disagree with this method. An engine designed for 50-1 will not work properly with ex. 30 - 1. Plugs will foul, engine will stall, hard to start, etc, etc.
I have seen this with my own 2 stroke OPE. It is OK to be a little off, say 10%, but I would not 'WING IT' Eventually, it will cause an issue!!
