Another thought (and I'm not recommending this, just thinking out loud 
here): I run old race gas I don't want to run in my bikes any more 
through the yard equipment sometimes.  $8/gallon isn't cheap to cut the 
grass, but then again I don't use a lot of it (except in the mower).  
Some brands have lead, but none of the implements seems to mind.

You know, in case you happen to have a can of VP laying around or 
something...
