The small chain saw oil bottles are only like 2.5 to 3 ounces.
Carry a couple of those.One bottle does about 10 dollars of gas!

I premix with Idemitsu at 1oz per gallon of fuel (no OMP) so that is basically half a 32oz bottle every fill up. Of course I have no problem using a funnel at the gas pump. My bigger complaint is the amount of cash I end up paying there.

Stihl, the German company that makes best chainsaws in the world, sells a full synthetic 2 cycle that is well (if not highest) regarded in their industry. I believe it was designed by BP - Castrol and it should be available at most agricultural dealers (John Deere, Kubota, etc.).

I saw a presentation where Stihl reps broke down machines compared the product to cheaper brand oils; it was enough to convince me that it is not a bad choice.

And i have this with me
5 hour energy drink bottle is 2 ounces

So if i put in 8 gallons, i do 4 bottle fulls . Peal the label off and its just a white bottle, easy simple measuring device. =p
i would leave the sticker on and when someone asked me why i was putting 5 hour energy in the car i would reply with "we wher out all night, works for me, figured it would work for the car"

If I am putting around town I keep a quart of 2stroke and and 20 oz mt dew bottle filled. The mt dew bottle years ago was marked with a sharpie for 4, 8, 12, 16, and 20oz. I always fill it up to the 20oz mark and just put in the appropriate amount for how much I am gonna fill up, easy to verify this way. Then pour it in using a funnel. While filling up I spray the funnel out with brake clean and refile my mt dew bottle while I wait.
