You know those 5 qt. jugs at Wal-Mart are going to be a lot more expensive when they're "re-introduced."

Make your own. Mix equal parts of 20 weight and 30 weight oil. 20 + 30 = 50.

Wouldn't that make it 25 weight, sort of like mixing equal amounts of 70 proof liquor with 90 proof would make it 80 proof?

No, no it would not sir. Oil and liquor don't mix.
