Sweet..I have a gear calculation program that I've been working on off and on for the last couple years. I've spread it around to a few people, just so damn large to email.
Was yours written with html only? I write all mine in VB, but I'm only a beginner. I've written several(database type programs) for our company that we use on a daily basis.
anyway..cool prgm

Hey Inda;
how about a modification so that I can plug in my ratio and the amount of oil I have left over so I know how much gas I can mix up.
Sometimes I have a few ounces of oil left over but can't figger out how much gas I'll be able to mix it up with.

to find the amount of gas to use with a set amount of oil :
there is 128oz in 1 U.S. gal
so...
oil in oz (x) ratio / 128
example:
4oz x 42 / 128 = you need 1.3 gal of gas.
So my kdx tank is 2.9 gal empty and i want to mix in the tank at a local gas station at the Hatfield and McCoy trails in Wv.
To mix to a ratio of 42 i need (128x2.9) / 42 = 8.8 oz of oil
I probably would put in 9oz and that would make it 41.2 :1
I've been working this out for a while also because i am planning a trip to Wv. next week and wanted to have pre portioned containers of oil so i didn't have to carry a a lot of extra crap on me or my bike.
I plan on carrying 32oz of extra fuel mixed and a 12-16oz of oil with a 35cc syringe i borrowed from work.
1oz = 29.5cc
so no bulky ratio rite and no guessing.
Its also nice to know so you don't have to mix up 5 gal of fuel when you can only ride like 30 - 40 miles a week. I've been reading that fuel and oil mix starts to break down fairly fast and you should only mix what you can burn???

Sean

1 litre (1,000 ml) of gas to 15ml of oil - that would result in a ratio of 67:1
Personally, that is a little too short of oil for me!! However, I am not familiar with your brand of oil.
EDIT: Maxima's website recommends 40:1
