Patricia - Jim is talking about the ANALYSIS, not the mixture itself. Analyses do vary over time a little for some mixes, but I've never seen it vary more than 1%, or the accuracy rating of a sensor * 2. This thread is ridiculous, especially because now people are saying this only happens with strokemix. Check the archives.
