I don't budget or keep track but with the miles I put on and price I say I'm between 3 & 4 thousand in fuel cost for the year. I'm not sitting at home and going to worry about the price of gas. I only got one life to live so I go a lot and will continue till I can't.

What you figure you spend in fuel for all outfits for a year??

Not sure I want to think of it. I normally fill twice a week, last few years have been brutal. F350 gas, normally around $100, if I play more fills. And my boat is a heavy drinker.

I never been a luxury vacation or only a few short trip vacation in my life time so I spend it gas instead.

Wife has a plug in hybrid. 32 miles round trip to work, no fuel used. Longer trips where gas engine kicks on $30-50 a month. Average 65 mpg when accounting for all the electric miles. 38 mpg on gas only.

My one ton diesel counter acts the green energy of her car.

Probably 3-4 grand a year for both vehicles.

That $393.13 is just for the boat, not to get it to the ramp 65 miles away. I’m a nice guy, I normally tell people they don’t want to be in line behind me. But I would take donations

I run clear premium thru the Yamahas, don’t like to think of corn fuel going bad 50 miles offshore.

Oh is that ethanol free or at the marina pump price?

Nvm just saw the post about premium in the boat. That makes more sense. I thought there was somewhere in Oregon still over $5 for regular and wanted to know where so could never go there.

This was non ethanol in Harrisburg. Right now regular is about $2.75 or so. Getting better.
