    Should mention that my yard also wants a hole in the tank or for it to be removed. Just the method to my madness.

    If I had to do that then of course I would drain the gas
    BUT
    My yard takes them with the tanks still attached
    So no reason to drain them
    When Gas gets above $4.00 a gallon I may change my mind

    Right now when I purchase gas it is a deduction on the taxes
    If I start using drained gas >> That would reduce my deduction and make a smaller refund check >> Not to mention more work on my part

    Use the gas in your lawnmower where it isn't deductible or sell it to your neighbor for $2.50 a gallon ....he'd be happy to get it.
    At .06 cents a pound, the gas left in a vehicle would bring you 36 cents per gallon. (Gas weighs 6 lbs per gallon) Just food for thought.
