since this is 110 oz total, I think it would mean it's about 97.55oz gas and 2.45oz oil (this gives a 39.8:1 ratio). Keeping the same 2.45oz of oil but having 122.55oz of gas makes it 50:1 so you would add 25oz of ethanol free gas to the existing liquid from the can
Small engine mechanic A is going to say keep the fuel mixture in the tank and run the engine once a month for 5 to 10 minutes in the brutal cold.
Small engine mechanic B is going to say that is a bad idea because the gasoline ethanol and other detergents will deterotiate the metering diaphragm in the carb. Run the tank dry.
Small engine mechanic A says that it is a bad idea because the metering diaphragm in the carb will actually be destroyed because it will become flaky like a dry leaf come spring.
So what do you do? I buy engieered fuel because it solves all the problems.

Tho that alters the 'ethanol-free' benefits of this 110 oz can if you add 27 oz of ethanol 'pump gas' and naturally put it in a larger can.
As per TruFuel you should NOT mix with gas.
In this big 110oz 40:1 can, there's 2.69oz of oil.
If it were 50:1, there's 2.16oz… that's half a shot glass in this big 110oz can. That's truly negligible.

Plug fouling ain't normal. I run 20-30 tanks through my saws and only a plug every 3 or so years.

And it is still $10/gallon of gas doesn't seem very slick
Thanks for posting.
I really like the metal cans and reuse them when I mix my own.
Fresh NonOxigenated premium for my 2 stroke motors for years has been my plan and works for me. At the end of the season I dump unused fuel in to the Trucks gas tank. I start fresh every spring.
It is a shame. We could run straight gas and the motors would run better last longer if we wanted it. It takes about $7 to make one gallon of ethanol. It takes 100 gallons of fresh water to make that. Using ethanol was suposed to be a way to cut oil imports, but today we are a net exporter. Now we pay more and get less. Gas is down to $3 nowdays and there is no need to dilute it. Corperate farmers have a hold on DC for years.
Making a bad policy is easy. Fixing a bad policy is quite hard. The esiest mess to cleanup is the one you did not make.

PS: I just saw that Jersey City Lowes has OP's product on sale for $5.98, that's a steal!
