I think one 10 gallon fillup should cover his boating for a few years..


I put about 30 hours on my new Parker's engine before the season ended,
and burned about 55 gallons of gasoline in the process, according to the
flow meter. How much gas did you burn in your string trimmer?


If my math is correct that's about 1.8333333333333 GPH. My guess is that
you didn't get that barge above hull speed much.


That's just about what Mrs.E.'s boat burns running wide open.

I guess the old Krauster can't protest your extravagant fuel burn rate too
much. I wonder why his runabout is such a gas hog?
