I understand everyones concern with the practicality of mixing oil.  It
is kind of a pain, but I think everyone agrees that it will greatly
extend the life of the engine.  Any device that adds oil will probably
not provide the benefits of a simple premix unless it thoroughly mixes
the gas and oil into a solution.  I suspect that part of the reason
premixing works so well, is the fact that it is thoroughly mixed and
will lubricate every nook and cranny rather than providing a bit of oil
here and there in a random manner.  I also feel, but have no way to
prove, that pouring oil on top of the gas might not mix it well.  If you
add the oil first, and then add the gas, the turbulence will do a good
job of mixing it.  Please consider these points in trying to simplify
the process of adding oil to your fuel.
