I recently purchased Lesco Quin-way 75DF. I swear the guy at the store said .75oz per gallon of water, but the label is saying .275oz per gallon. .275oz is barely measurable in the measurement tube that is included. Is this correct? I need to use the product today, but the store isn't open until Monday. I've looked extensively for this answer. If someone could help me out I would GREATLY appreciate it!

The label rate is correct.
Make the best measurement you can with the tube. Being a tad off won't cause any harm and it should still be effective. The tube itself even says it's not as accurate as a weight scale.
You could also just buy a gram scale. .275oz is 7.7 grams.
If you plan to use it soon you can also just slurry a larger amount in a bottle with a measured amount of water and divide that as needed. Measure out 4k sq ft worth, add enough water to bring the volume to 16 oz, and agitate and use 4 oz of the solution for each gallon. Re agitate and pour out another 4 oz when you need more.

Yes, it is so difficult to measure .275 ounce of quinclorac.
But you can measure out enough water to cover 3600 sqft. Then you can use one ounce. Back pack sprayer might suit the situation.
Or, if you can weigh out a half-ounce, then you need enough water to cover about 1800 sqft.
Depends on the sprayer: backpack, hand can, skid sprayer, Permagreen, Z-spray.
Remember fine fescue is sensitive to Quinclorac (Drive). Go easy on fine fescue. Slow developing brown color.
