How much difference does the correct oil to gas mix ratio make?

Asked by rojo (24179points) March 30th, 2014

I have various gas powered garden tools that require the following mixes 32:1, 40:1 and 50:1.
Seriously, why can’t manufacturers standardize?
How much difference would it make if just mixed up a 40:1 mix and ran everything at that ratio?
What about the higher or lower, would either of those be better?
