Last year, three full 100 gallon tanks at about $1.60 a gallon or so. The last half of the last tank ended up in my truck after I hurt my motor. So, last year was an easy fuel bill I guess. Other years, I could not tell you how many tanks or how much money, I average over 100 hours a season. May to end of Sept.
I boat a lot! When it's running....

I think I average about 50-70 gallons a weekend, depending on the weather. Alot of driving around in a circle on a lake 4 miles long 
From memorial day to labor day, i run up there 
So at $3 a gal I don't even want to add it up

It's all relative
2 to 3k per year
4 months of boating
2 454 mag mpi's gas at the bargain price of 1.90 -2.20 per gallon
I agree with all of you who want to delete this thread ... i only ever thought about it as $150 bucks each time ... It seems so much worse when you add it all up ... If I didn't boat and spend all the money on gas, beer, dockage, beer, weekend trips,beer, repairs, beer, and upkeep not to mention the depreciation on the boat I could be a very rich man but I would't have any fun with money in the bank
therefor its all relative .... you can't take it with you so might as well throw some damn good boating parties.
