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

flow meter. How much gas did you burn in your string trimmer?
Misleading? Gee, I have an hour meter and a fuel use meter. At my cruise
speed, I seem to burn around 5GPH, and that cruise speed will easily take
me to the other side of the bay and back in under an hour.



But that's not what you said. Here's what you said that generated my
statement of being "misleading":

"I put about 30 hours on my new Parker's engine before the season ended,

I commented that those numbers may be accurate in terms of how you operated
*your* boat last season, but should be construed as being typical.

They were typical enough at this end.

Hey...I just dropped my first $900 of the not-yet-here season on the boat.
