Most of my 2 cycle machines are 50-1 which amounts to 3 ounces of oil per gallon of gas. If 32-1 than it would be 4 ounces of oil per gallon of gas. Hope this helps.

??? Take a gallon gas can, pour the I/2 gallon oil/gas mixture into it and then add the correct amount of undiluted gasoline to the correct mixture. For instance, if you need a .2 oz/I/2 gal ratio then add 1/2 gal gas to what you already have. Remember, it is always better to have a little too much oil than gas.
Guess you are asking this because you need to mix your 2-cycle engine oil with gasoline. One gallon = 128 fluid ounces if you are in the US. In the UK, 1 UK gallon = 160 UK ounces.
I totally plagiarized this information from numbers.com.
Not plagiarized: you want to use the correct mixture for your blower to get it to start easily. Your blower probably uses a mixture of either 50:1 or 40:1. I use a product called ProMix Premium that allows me to squeeze the bottle to measure out the correct amount of oil into a gallon of gas. I use two different gallon sized gas containers, one with a 50:1 mixture and the other with a 40:1 mixture. Between the two mixtures, all of my machines will start and run well according to their oil mixture requirements. Usually the machine will have a label on it to tell you the correct mixture, if not, check the owner's manual or instructions.
for a 40/1 mixture use 3 ounces of oil ( 2 stroke) to a gallon of gas
for a 50/1 ( which is what I recommend ) its 2.5 ounces to each gallon of gas, if you find that the machine is smoking a little too much,, back up on the oil just a hair,, but I don't think you'll need to
How tiny is the bottle? Don't follow the advice of the entire bottle to one gallon. Bottles come in different sizes. The correct mixture is 50:1. this equals 2.6 ounces of oil for each gallon of gas. You can do the math from there to match the size of your fuel can.
