If it was 8 oz., I wouldn't have thought twice.
But 3 gallons is a lot for me and it stunk too bad to feel good about putting it in anything. I also won't use it for cleaning. I've been exposed to enough toxic and potentially carcinogenic material in my life. It also evaporates too fast, to say nothing of the flammability.
I am not an eco warrior but if there was a "safe" way to discard it, I would have followed it. I worked for a company that left a legacy of superfund sites and I did a lot of chemical process development so I respect the dangers.
It just surprised me that after 50 years of evaporative emissions controls, ecological disasters, and regulating VOCs that a hazardous material as pervasive as gasoline would not have an easily-accessible waste disposal process and infrastructure.
