Probably that much rat **** and other foreign contaminates in gas
already. ('cept here in CA. Our gas is special *g*)
The sensors will never know...

There is no sensor that would be negatively affected by premix oil in
any vehicle I know of. If the gas is stale or dirty though, there would
be problems. I have added premix oil _on purpose_ to late model
vehicles at the full 100:1 ratio and never had a problem.
If it's reasonably fresh, I would pour it through a filter funnel
into my vehicle to burn it off and replace it with fresh gas for next
season. Ultralight pilots flying two stroke engines do this all the
time. Even in FFV's with ethanol or methanol sensors.

Thanks for putting the sensor myth to rest. It's amusing to watch the
rumor perpetuate - I mentioned it, then others parrot the warning, yet
no one seems to know what sensors they are talking about or why a
miniscule amount of 2 stroke oil would affect them. Didn't the old
stolen kidney myth get started on Usenet too? :^)
