I really like the look of these combo cans made by Husqvarna and Scepter but why are they 1.32 gallons. Any tips on mixing oil for 1.32 gallons?

Go to a metric mix chart for 5l and your ratio .
I bought one of those 2in1 cans at home depot, used it a couple of times but I prefer my 10l gas cans and a separate barlube container .
Like Del , my gas can and a rectangular bar lube jug will fit in a milk crate with some room for a bit of stuff , the square lube jugs like the Stihl ones won't so I'll usually just bungee cord them together if I'm carrying them any distance .

Those spouts work awesome , I have 2 cans and 2 spouts , when one starts to get low I fill and mix the second one , 10l and a cup of mix is 40:1 .

Hey Dan, What is that blue tool in your photo?
 
I run 2.5 gallon cans with ez-pour spouts the oil cans I take the screen out. the fill the saws easily , I only mix 2 gallons at a time typically buy the oil in ready to go 2 bottles just dump and add 2 gallons of gas , if I need more I have 5 and 6 gallon cans also with the ez-pour spouts .

the cans were all free they had garbage tops on them and as people I knew moved they all left their gas cans behind easier to by a new can when they got to their new house than move the old one.

my local saw shop gets bar oil in bulk , I have a 10w and a 30w bar oil can and when I need more I just stop off at the saw shop and get a gallon dump it in and hand him back the jug to refill.

I just never cut that far from the truck or tractor that I could justify the 2 in 1 can yet , maybe when these fail. I though about getting the 2 in 1 then I realized if I am that far from the truck how am I going to carry the wood out.

I use a GI pistol belt with suspenders and some bucket boss pouches to carry wedges and tools the rest of the tools are in a tool bag in the truck.

40 liters of mix and 30 liter oil. Fill it up in Januari and mostly lasts the year.
In the shed we use a 230V to 12V convertor for the hedgetrimmer and weedwacker etc.

Never any spills unless I forget to unplug the thing before I set of and something bumps the button.
