No, stupid. My boat uses 20 gallons of fuel in an average year, assuming
it's used every weekend between mid-May and late October, with some
weekdays thrown in.


Not to take this to a level of absurdity, but .... are you sure that's all
the oil based product that it uses?

Do you have it hauled?
Do you keep it in a slip? (my guess is mooring .... that's better)
Do you bottom paint?
Do you clean it?
Do you lubricate it?

All told, is the total use of oil really necessary for something that is
purely for pleasure?

Tsk, tsk.
