My chain saw wants a 40/1 mix. My blower wants a 50/1. Rather than have another gas can sitting

I would say yes but consult your owners manualoand call your
manufacturers, and check with a small engine shop, and google your
query. You'll be surprised at the number of different answers you get.

Yup, I did the google thing and found that most folks don't understand the meaning of a ratio.

If there is no smoke, you need more oil in the gas can.

If there is a lot of smoke, you need more gas in the gas can.

BUT.... too much oil = fouled plug.

It is a lawn care implement. It's not like you are going to be using
your chainsaw to operate your boat out in a large body of water.
