yep, well actually 15.36 oz, but you aren't going to get that close and it doesn't matter if you are 50:1 or 48:1. When I had my 2.5 Merc with oil injection, what I always said is that when it stops smoking, is when I needed to worry (i.e. not getting oil), Oil in the gas is what lubricates the 2 cycle.
GALLONS X 128 (ounces) / RATIO = OUNCES OF OIL TO MIX WITH GAS
6 gallons X 128 (ounces) / 50 (50:1 ratio) = 15.36 ounces of oil for 6 gallons of gas.
128 ounces = 1 gallon
