    depends on the saw, older ones tend to be 25:1 or 32:1, newer saws are 50:1 or else just get that aspen everyone is raving about lately:D Expensive stuff but doesn't go off;)

    A mixing bottle is great too. Just have your can of straight petrol with you and mix with 2-stroke oil in this bottle as you need it. It has all the ratios on it. You haven't 'contaminated' all your petrol then and it can be used for the lawn mower (without the smoke) :)

    If you are unsure of the mix ratio, you should be able to download the user manual for your specific chainsaw online. I downloaded one for mine only last week ;)

    It'I be the chainsaw for me this weekend aswel ;)
