OK... I've got two or three gallons of premix 32/1 in my garage that is not bad, but going stale.  I don't want to dump it on the ground, and I won't be using it anytime soon.

Can I add this stuff a gallon at a time to a full tank of gas in my 4-Runner and burn it off?  Or am I asking for injector trouble?

I wouldn't worry about it in small amounts with a fair amount of gas in the tank.  Think about the additives such as Marvel Mystery Oil, etc.  EPA may not like it but you could accidentally forget to ask them.  d*

Yep, do it all the time. It's actually good for it except it does change the mixture in the cat a little.

Great! I'm not the only one that does that!  I was never concerned but then someone always has a different slant and most times with good reason.

Okay.. the 4-Runner has a gallon of 32:1 in there now with a full tank.  I'll put another gallon in next tank and be done with it. 

Got all my stuff winterized today.  Fresh gas with stabil run through the carb, engines fogged, then carb and tanks drained.  Washed air filters and re-oiled, changed engine oil too.  I didn't realize I had so many things with engines on them.  The only thing I filled back up with stabil gas to full was my generator.  But I run that once a month.  This is the first time I've ever fogged an engine; I used seafoam.  It will be interesting to see how well these start up in the spring.
