Go metric and use a graduated cylinder to measure the oil. 
100-mL cylinder for oil works great for a gallon of gas.
(1 gal X 3784 mL/gal)/40 = 95 mL 40:1
(1 gal X 3784 mL/gal)/50 = 76 mL 50:1

Stock saws 40:1 is perfect.. I like a little more on the screaming saws though
I found this neat little on-line calculator for standard or metric.

Here's how you calculate how many oz's are required depending on the ratio blend;
1 gal = 128 oz's, divide that number (128) into the ratio (128/50) and you get 2.56 oz's (2.6 per his rounded off figure).
If you are doing a 40 to 1 ratio it's 128/40 = or 3.2 oz's per gallon.
So for EVERY GALLON USED mix either 2.6 (50:1) or 3.2 (40:1) oz's of lubricating oil.

The metric system makes mixing easier. Only problem is that the U.S. Gallon is different than a metric gallon.
One litre of mix will make 50 litres of gas @ 50:1
One litre of mix will make 40 litres of gas@ 40:1
One litre of mix will make 30 litres of gas @ 30:1
One litre of mix will make 50 litres of gas @ 50:1
One litre of mix will make 40 litres of gas@ 40:1
One litre of mix will make 30 litres of gas @ 30:1

So how many litre's of beer come in a 6 pack of Molsons then ?

One can of bud is 355 ml @5% alcohol.
So 355 ml x 6= 2.130 litres
What would be the mix ratio of alcohol in Canadian beer compared to American beer?
I think US beer is 100:1 while canadian beer is 50:1 lol

Just go metric instead of dealing with fractions.
250 ml or one quarter of a litre will mix 10 litres @ 40:1
Pin this simple ratio on your shop wall.

Ever try to buy a metric piece of plywood ? I think we are stuck with fractions here .

Very true, but here a 4x8 sheet is still a 4x8 sheet.
But dimentional lumber is different. Like a 2x4 isnt a 2x4

We get most lumber from BC and it's metrick. Like the OSB on my house roof is 13mm.

In the old days a 2x4 was a 2x4 but the planer would eat 1/4 off each side making 1 1/2 by 3 1/2 ,am sure they do not waste 1/2 inch off each board nowadays though

what the hell is metric
Political party I think.what the hell is metric
Just the opposite Brian, old time 2X4s started out as that, then they went to 1.75 X 3.75. Now they are 1.5 X 3.5. Just like the gov, they keep taking a bigger piece out of us!
My brother caused quite a sensation when he told his 3rd grade teacher that a 2 X 4 was not! She argued with him, while waving the 2X4 in her hand, until he asked "do you have a ruler". I had that teacher 2 yrs earlier, and she was not kind to me. I think my brother paid her back, in several ways, this being one of them.
My father (a Lawyer) was also not fond of her. She called my parents in for a parent/teacher conference, with the Principal present, and informed my parents not to expect much from me. My father responded, "well, if worse comes to worse, he can always be a teacher". My Mom said she wanted to hide under the table, but there was dead silence.

Another vote for 32:1 for everything ive ever ran and tuned correctly, ive NEVER had an issue with killing a saw. Except for an old Poulan that wouldn't stand up to being run over by my dumptruck
