Back in the '50's - '60's in the UK, back when the station attendant used to pump gas, he'd ask you "One shot or two?"
Which was to ask you if you wanted 1 oz or 2 oz of 'top cylinder lubricant' (read Marvek Mystery Oil) added to your fill-up. They had a special can that delivered 1oz of lubricant for each trigger pull.
Also, we used to add 1 oz per gallon of MMO to each gallon of AvGas for radial engines on aircraft.
I still add a small amount of MMO to each tankfull of gas. ymmv
