Average weekend gas consumption

[314joey]

I was wondering how much gas everyone uses on a normal weekend, with the different type of boats and lakes it's interesting to see how things are different across the country.

We only burned fuel from April to September when we lived at LOTO, but down here our fuel bill has ballooned a bit.

A normal day is maybe 2-3hrs up and down the river. About $250 in 100LL or so.

About $300 in diesel to get to Havasu drive around and get home. Maybe another $300 in boat gas as well.

I've been boating off a lift for the last twenty years, so I forget about the gas some use getting to the Lakes, geez, that could be as much or more as boating.

55 gals of C16 at about 900.00 will last about 40 minutes.

Maybe you need to slow down and do some idling.

Well, I may have fibbed a little. There is maybe another 15 minutes of warm up time in there.

20 gals in the infinity, round trip to havi and back home.

Usually about $100 in fuel for the boat for a 2 day weekend. 1 day hanging in the channel, and an evening run for a conjugal visit , and 1 day for a run up to pirates or needles for the day and back...

It's the bar tab at night that seems to get out of control

Motorhome, Vegas and back, 140 gallons or so of diesel at 4.09 =

I'm sure most here can do the math.

I agree, that can do more damage than the fuel bill sometimes.
