Keep in mind the ratios the manufacturers recommend are for a high performance dirt bike that is designed to race at its full capacity. If you have skills like Ryan Dungey and you ride your bike at full noise most of the time you need the recommended petrol to oil mix to keep the piston and rings properly lubricated. On the other hand, if you are just pottering around and spending most of your bikes time in the low to mid revs range, that extra oil is probably an overkill and not entirely needed.
Use the same type of container designed for gasoline storage, measure correctly and mix the fuel completely before filling your chain saw. It's best to use the premixed gas within a few days and to shake it well anytime it's been sitting for a while to redistribute the oil completely into the gas. [links]

The fuel-oil mixture ratio for all Weed Eater products is 40:1. You can obtain this ratio by mixing 3.2 oz. of two cycle air cooled engine oil with one gallon of regular gas. Over a period of time oil will separate from gasoline. To properly insure oil and gas mixture, we recommend thoroughly shaking your oil and gas mixture before refueling your unit. [links]
The chart below shows the correct amount of oil per gallon that each mixing ratio requires.
