1 ounce per gallon is a 128:1 ratio.

2 ounces per gallon is whole lot..128:1 is good for alot of high rpm use. For everday driving most people go less oil..

Any TCW-3 two stroke oil is a concentrated formula. You decide on the ratio to use, not the bottle. Go ahead and do 128:1 (1 oz per gallon) and you will be fine. I am doing 16 fl. oz. per ~13 gallons - only because the bottles I buy are 16 oz bottles and one fill up for me is 13 gallons. This is just the easiest thing for me to do.

100:1 is 1oz/gallon. 50:1 is about 1.5oz/gallon. Whats so confusing about that?

what do you mean 100:1 and 50:1 arent the same..2 stroke oil is two stroke oil...that 100:1 ratio is a ratio between fuel and oil..it doesnt come mixed in the bottle. Buy the two stroke mix, TCW-3, mix it at your desirable rate.....whats not to understand?

I found 16 oz per fill up to rich. My exhaust tips would stain over time which would require an extended scrubbing when I cleaned them. I now run 12 oz and no longer find them discoloured.
