Instead, I went to the local chainsaw shop and bought a six-pack of 3oz bottles of two stroke oil (the ones you pour in a gallon of gas for the perfect 50:1 mix.) They'll actually hold about 4 oz, I think. Now, I can mix up whatever cocktail I like before I leave home. The bottles are very small and easily carried in a ziplock that I throw in the bag on my back seat.
I just pull up to the pump, empty a bottle into the tank, and add gas. No mixing and measuring and fooling around while traffic backs up behind me.

Now, there might actual be benefits to the eye of newt, but with regard to all the rest of that stuff, don't believe it just because people write it. The only additive that you really need in your gas is Stabil when it's time for winter storage.
All the rest of that stuff just increases the cost of your fuel.
