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.

My store had a special end cap for em, they weren't with the rest of the fuels. I also saw 4 cycle 32 oz was marked down to 1.7X. That was all sold gone though.

I already address the issue in my comment that you'd be adding ethanol pump gas, and in nearly all applications combined with the very small amount of ethanol gas added, it would have no measurable detrimental effect in 99% of the uses/applications.
