BogyDave - that is interesting and math can't lie?? I never did the math and I am not even sure what I pay for the little silver jugs of "Gold" evidently at 100+$$ per gallon. Makes 4$ a gallon for fuel seem cheap!
What I meant was
No small bottles for 1 gallon or 2 gallon of gasoline, so I don't have to measure.
Ever try to measure 2.6 oz or 3.2 oz of 2 cycle oil with the wife's measuring cups ?
Hard to be accurate & even worse if you get caught.
Alway wonder how much stays in the measuring cup.
How long will it drip as you wait to get it all out?
I like the small bottles so I can add some gasoline, shake & add it to the jug.
That way I think I get it all & have a good mix
Lets see if I got this right.
I mix in 1 gallon jugs .
128 / x = 50 / 1
50x =128
x = 128 / 50
x =2.56
I'll save the small 2 cycle oil bottles & re-fill them.
& save some with a gallon of good synthetic.
I'll be set for a while.
2.7 oz wouldn't' hurt
I usually put .9 gallon in the jug & rinse the small bottle with gas to get it all.
All that said.
Now?
What's the consensus on what is "the best 2 cycle oil" for chain saws?

I got 6 of the 2.6 oz bottles when I bought the Stihl blower,
$15.54 for 6 pack of 2.6 oz bottles.
$2.59 for 2.6 oz.
$1.00 per oz.
$32.00 per quart
$128 per gallon
Definitely time to start refilling the small bottles.
The Amsoil INTERCEPTOR 2-Cycle Oil, synthetic is only $40 a gallon/
Let's go with the high estimate of 2 bottles a year.
Bought the HP Ultra 6 pack to get the extra warranty coverage.
That's why i bout the 6 pack/ warranty.
But will be buying a quart or gallon & refill the bottles.
Went thru about 8 or 9 gallons last year.
Have other than a chainsaw to feed too.
I'm a cheap skate
8 or 9 gallons of mix? You have got to be doing something for a living with this stuff or using a ton of it in play vehicles. That is just one heck of a gasoline bill using that much mix. At 50:1, that means you used almost 500 gallons of gasoline. At current prices, that is close to $2k in gas for feeding everything.
Would love to know what else you are feeding with 500 gallons of gasoline.
LOL
Of mixed gasoline.
Lets say 26 oz if 2 cycle oil.
Sometimes more if I fly much.
2 hours uses about 6 gallons of 50:1 mix gasoline:
