Dude. Relax. Go get yourself three 1 gallon jugs of antifreeze. Add a gallon of antifreeze, then a gallon of water, gallon of antifreeze, gallon of water... When you can start to see it fill up to the top, start up your car, turn on your heater to full blast hot, and quickly get out to do some more filling. Keep it 50/50 and you'll be just fine.

Not annoying, you just seem to be working yourself into a froth over having to have an exact amount of antifreeze to work with. I'm just saying to relax about it, that's all. After all, it's not like you can 'overfill' a radiator or anything, and if you buy too much antifreeze, you'll eventually use it. No biggie.
