I use a graduated plastic bottle from the dollar store. I use the same gas ratio for all my engines so I have two 2 gallon containers. When I empty one I fill it with gas to a line (magic marker) on the side. Then I fill the oil to a line (Magic marker) on the side of the graduated bottle. and pour it in and mix it up. Same every time every mix no mistakes. I have enough gear not going to attempt to weight everything at the field or the pumps on the way to an event besides there is a reason the manufacturer uses volumetric ratios.

There is not a single manufacturer that recommends mixing by weight everyone mixes by volume.
