Hows the boat running Martin? Was supposed to go out on the river today but never made it down there.

If you keep it around 3500 rpm you could easily make it to anywhere on the Mississippi gulf coast without stretching it. Probably burn about 70 gallons from your house to Biloxi. Also no problem to run to Slidell or New Orleans and back on less than a full tank.

If you've get somewhere specific your thinking about going I could probably give you a good idea of how much gas it's going to take.
