Gas/Oil mixture

Couple containers of gas and oil mixture for the chain saw; 1 of which I am certain it's fresh and the proper mixture; whereas, the other container I don't have a clue, it appears to be a mixture of gas and 2 stroke oil but not certain. It amounts to about 4 gals. and rather than dump it I thought I would use it in 1, or 2 of the vehicles, if it is a mixture it would not be less than 50-1. Any opinons whether or not it would be a bad idea, like foul plugs, etc. ?

Dave

Can't see any harm in a carbed engine. Take into account you'll probably add it to another 10gal of gas reducing it even further.
