Can you do this with gas that is mixed with oil for a leaf blower?

If it's just a mowers worth dump it into a car, it will be fine. I wouldn't run a whole tank like that, but 1 gallon out of 20 won't matter. Modern engines recirc oil into the combustion chamber to maintain crankcase pressure anyway..next year, throw some stabil into it.

This is good advice. It's much, much worse to run gas without oil in an engine that requires mixed gas than it is to run mixed gas in an engine that runs on gasoline.
