If you had really old gas from years ago, it is entirely possible it was the "good" gas that we used to get.
How much old gas are you talking about? I have mixed old gas with new gas and run it in lawn mowers. Maybe 1 gallon old fuel with 5 or 6 gallons new fuel. Don't want to run it in modern vehicle engines in case the fuel causes issues... lawn mower engines are a lot easier (and cheaper) to cleanout / fix.
Gasoline evaporates so quickly that usually all the fire department does at a small gas spill is put some cat litter / speedy dry on it. Most fire departments don't really do any "cleanup" of stuff like that - they make sure it is contained and as safe as possible, then their job is done. A large spill may require calling a hazmat cleanup company, but that's not for a few gallons.
Also, try contacting your local garbage dump / recycling center - they may have an "old fuel" tank/container you can pour it into, or should know what to do with it.
Then, of course, there is the old school way - just pour out the old gasoline in a gravel area and let it evaporate. But of course no one would suggest doing that...
