Default So, You want to ***** about fuel prices?

The new motors run on straight C16. I topped off the tanks, 142 gallons tonight. The VP station put me on their lowest price schedule since i buy large quantiites. My new price for
C16 is $9.56 a gallon!!
You do the math. Not sure what the fuel consuption is either. I'm sure it's very economical!

Worth every penny Gino!
I'm sure somebody has mentioned this, but you're next business investment should be a fuel distributorship. At the very least hedging your fuel.

As to consumption, how bad would it be if you were dragging a V bottom through the water??
Don't forget the additional leaded fuel pollution tax!

And to think your could have bought that used bayliner, and cruised around all day on $75...Your not payin for fuel. your paying for that ear to ear sh!t eating grin and that funny feeling in the pit of your stomach (or was that wallet) when you mash the sticks against the stops and the 160 mph wind rips the sunglasses off your face.... Enjoy
