rye, there are 128 ounces in a gallon. If you divide 128 by 20 you get 6.4 ounces. 128 divided by 30 is 4.3 ounces. Dan.

Those are fluid oz volume measurements and not actual weight measurements.

rye,
I have an 10cc Evo gas engine that requires 20:1 as well. Being lazy, and with a crappy memory, I decided to keep 1 can of gas and tried running 20:1 in the DLE 20's I have as well. Happy to report no downside after 3 seasons of use. If there's any downside, it's just a little extra mess to clean up on the 20cc planes. Cheap price to pay for the convenience of keeping track of just one fuel mix from where I'm sitting.

I use 6 oz. to the gallon.
