This is a VERY bad idea. Most recycle centers will not accept oil contaminated with gasoline and some of them have detectors that will identify such practices. This practice causes an explosion hazard since gasoline is a lot more volatile than oil. The equipment to store and handle recycled oil is not designed to handle gasoline. This is exactly why a lot of places that might otherwise take used oil will not do so.
