Al,
 
My solution to this problem was to purchase a fuel trailer from a guy here at the airport.  It holds about 40 gallons.  So, I measure the oil, pour it into the fuel trailer's tank, drive down the street to the gas station and fuel up the trailer.  It mixes well during the filling process and transporting back to the airport.  I then pump it into the airplane already mixed and ready for use.  Comparing MOGAS prices to the price of 100LL, the fuel trailer has more than paid for itself in the short time I've been using it.

For those of you flying using 2-stroke pre-mix; what suggestions can you offer for easy and clean ways of dealing with the handling/measuring mixing the 2—stroke oil.
