Looking to blend Howes and 2 stroke

Hi All,
A fellow DeliCanadian and I are looking to pick up some Howes and 2 stroke motor oil to blend into one bottle for each one of us for refueling.
Could anyone suggest what the ratio should roughly be?
Thanks,
Joe

Never tried the two, I use Howes but I'm not sure if there is any point to blending them. Having said that I would think by checking the MSD Sheet would give you some insight to what mixture to go with.

I say give it a go split it 25% Howe's and 75% 2stroke
Can't hurt

X2, sounds about right; Howes recommends 640:1 and 2-stroke consensus seems to be 200:1, so 3:1 oil:Howes would follow that logic.
Then add around 1 cup (250ml) of the blend per 50L fillup.
