No, not hard at all, Scott.  Mix old stale gas 50/50 with fresh gas and
it burns just as well as any other gas.
As you already explained, there's no easy way to legally dispose of it,
and it's too expensive to discard when it will burn just fine in your
vehicle.  I would know, I've already done this trick many times before.
