I've never done anything in the 7 years I've had my mower. Just leave
whatever gas is in it, top it off when I get it back out in the
spring. All I've ever noticed is that it takes a couple of extra
pulls that first day.

Then you have gotten lucky. Gasoline generally won't be good after 6 months
and can gum up the fuel line to boot. Keep doing it if you like, but please
don't recommend it to others.
