Default good way to waste gas
I have half a tank in my 2000 Firehawk with sick exhaust system. I am going out of town for 2 months. What is the best way to waste gas without getting in trouble.

Fill the tank full and leave it. It will be fine 4 2months. Gas will last close to a year in your tank b4 it starts to go bad. The trick is to fill the tank to keep air/moisture out of it.
