I believe I ordered this measuring device off Amazon because it had a screw on lid which I thought was a good idea. It has an 8oz marking so I was using that and based on the 32 oz of Bluemax I was thinking I was going to get 4 uses per bottle / 20 gallons of fuel. After the first 2 8oz measurements it was pretty clear to me that I wasn't going to get 4 full 8oz servings. I went to Walmart and bought a small digital kitchen scale and zeroed with my measuring device on it and poured in until it read 8 "fluid" oz whatever that means and it was 9oz on my measuring device. I reached out to Matt (Semi retired Hirth guy) and asked if I was doing something wrong, the attached document is his write up on how he does it. I might try his marking of the bluemax bottle and see how that goes. He said the measuring device I am using is slightly higher mix than 80:1 which is fine by me, rather have a tad more .vs. not enough and damage the engine. I can say the Bluemax oil is pretty thick and not all pours out of my measuring device, even with a small rubber spatula I cannot get it all so I am guessing I am very close to the true 80:1 mark. Figured I would share the info.

Info from GAMI’s John-Paul Townsend about the new G100UL (unleaded avgas) in response to my inquiry: Scott, Thank you. Good question! I don't think we have any data on that. However,. given it's composition, I would not suspect any incompatibility. Thanks, John-Paul Townsend General Aviation Modifications, Inc.

I am taking possession of an ultralight with a Hirth F23 Fuel Injected 50HP 2-cycle engine. Do you have any data on running G100UL with 2-cycle oils mixed in 2-cycle engines such as the Hirth F23? Current literature states to use a 50:1 ratio of a high quality non-synthetic 2-cycle oil or 80:1 ratio of BlueMax 2-cycle oil if that helps any. Thanks again for all your work.
