Opti-2 claims "single mix", yet ratio varies depending on package size. WHY???

Until recently, I thought Opti-2 had a recommended mix of 100:1. I'm now aware that the 1.8 oz pouches for a single gallon of fuel give a ratio of about 71:1. At the opposite extreme, they sell a 1.06 gallon jug of oil they say mixes with 110 gallons of fuel: That's about 104:1. In between these extremes, other package sizes give various ratios in the 80s and 90s.

Does anyone know why this is? Does the concentration of the ingredients vary depending on the size of container you buy???

Sorry if this has already been covered. I tried searching the forum, but the hundreds of results were impossible to sift through.
 
I was waiting for someone else to say it... but 100:1 is just insane, I'd run motor oil at 16:1 before I'd run any oil at 100:1.
Addressing the question, I highly doubt they'd have different blends of oil, they probably are just gambling that anything from 70 to 100:1 will work.
