If your boat holds 120 gallons of fuel and you plan on spending a few
hours cruising or making a quick run to the reef and back, it doesn't
make sense to fill your tank every time you go out. That full 700# will
cost you more to carry around. I try to start with about twice as much
gas as I think I will use. If I'm trailering, I'll fill it up since the
gas on shore is so much cheaper than the fuel docks.

Agreed for that situation. But would it not be more fair to start out full
of fuel and then top off when you get back. That way you know exactly how
much you burned.


That would be more accurate, if I wanted to take the time to do so every time I
go out. But, I don't.
