But I will be on the lake and trails (sled)in a few days.

You'd crap what we use for fuel in sleds. One winter I burnt $4k in my sled,not counting wife's and kid's. Granted that was a great winter. Family across the street has 5 sleds. He must have spent more that winter.

Edit in: My wife told me I was wrong.$4k was for the 3sleds. She said I was around $2800. I believe her, my memory for such things not so good. LOL.

4 k. Devided by 2.50 witch is fair. That's 1600 gallons. I know I didn't run that much through my 750s. But whatever. On a snowmobile. Costs me 25 bucks for 100 miles. On my 2016 doo . Sounds like less snowmobiling more boating. 5 bucks a gallon halts our economy. , load the boat . No way I'd pay 5 just for convienence im writing this half buzzed though up north houghton mi snowmobiling , not trying to offend.

Except if the DOT nails him for transporting gasoline in unapproved containers or worse if he blows himself, his truck and his boat up trying to save $150!
