Default Can I store Gas Fuel?

I am new to GAS engines (DA-85).

Can I store my Gasoline fuel after it has been mixed with oil?
Is there any problems? How long and where can I store it?

People at my field throw out the fuel not used that day. Is this normal?

Gasoline fuel with Oil seems to be not OK after some months...

A lot of two cycle oils have fuel preservers in them and will keep petrol fresh for up to Six months.

IMO fuel is good for about 6 months without doing anything, sometimes longer. There is some brands of fuel preservatives that will prevent the oils and gum from dropping out of mixture for years.
