You did have to remind me of that. We live about 30 minutes from the
lake which burns about 15 gallons round trip, so add another $48 to
that total. Yikes! a $200 day.

For what we do, it's really not bad by the standards of the day. $30.
for fuel for my old '89 mercury to tow my 18' Chris Craft to the lake
and back 120 mi. round trip

Cruise and putter around the lake for a day. with a 3.0 GM running 3200
rpm, and that will pull about 5-7 gal. Another $21.00.


I look at it like this. My family can have a decent day on Lthe lake,
OR I can load up the car and take them to 6-Flags St. louis. and pay 40
bucks a pop to get in and eat their $4.00 hotdogs and $2.50 soda pop
and stand in a hot line for 45 min, to ride some whirlie-gig for about
3 minutes.

By the time we get home we's spent $300.00 and wonder ..."why?"


The lake is proven to be the better choice. We get to do what we want
to do, and enjoy the water.

More fun, practical, and economical!
