Just Tallied My Fuel Use For The Summer
 

Before I get roasted for being anal...which I am BTW...our state offers a fuel tax refund for recreational boats. :D

I used 882 gallons over 52.8 hours (boat had 2 on it when it arrived) equals 16.7 gph. I'm pleased with that given I typically averaged around 14 on the PQ 340 with HO's. And even better is the fact I kept that boat at a different boatel that had almost a half hour no wake zone just to get to the bay! This boat...I'm sticks down in 5 minutes! :cool-smiley-026:

The gps was at about 1000 miles, but that is not applicable because I wasn't diligent about turning it on for every trip...especially the short ones. That will change next summer!

Glad you started this thread. It just reminded me I need to tally mine up and get them sent in to the state.

:D Although I did the math and I will be getting back $154. Whoopee! That's a short run to somewhere. :(:D

Pat, I hope you collected on the bet with Frank on which motors I would opt for. I surely made the right decision!!

Damn Mack....good GPH!! :cool-smiley-026:

WOW!! Va. gives you a tax break on boat gas!!! WOW, N.Y. would never do anything like that, they would charge us more if they could figue out a way.. Good for you guys I am glad someone gets a break..:cool-smiley-027:

NH has a fuel tax refund as well.

Unfortunately, I don't usually buy fuel up there.

The one time I did try to run in NH last year was the time the starboard motor committed suicide. :(

It sure doesn't seem like it at the time of use! :(

Looks better after it's tallied up for sure. 8+ gph/motor ain't so bad is it...overall.

Be interesting to see what my rpm ranges are, which I will check. I do know my HO's had an extremely high percentage below 1500...because of that damn no wake zone.

I bet mine's not that good :rolleyes:

You've given me the impression (from having to hammer down to keep up with you) this would be a true statement. :D

So get out the calculator and let us know.

Don't know if I can calculate that high :eek:
