I have a feeling that
whatever small "gains" are claimed for an etec fuel burn are lost when
you average in the cost of that "special" oil.

I just just checked the "special" oil.

I used slightly less than 19 ounces.

At $26.15 per gallon (I buy at a bulk rate), that works out to .25¢ an
ounce which means that I spent $4.75 in oil - roughly rounding up.

9 gallons of fuel at $2.56/gallon equals $23.04. Add $4.75 equals
$27.79 dived by four and a half hours equals $6.18/hour operating
cost.

Even at retail ($36.70/gallon) it still works out to $5.05 worth of
oil which makes the operating cost at $7.53/hour.

Talk about inexpensive operating cost.

Special That, Oil Boy. :)

$2.56/gallon? We have not seen that for some time here. Street prices
here are $2.90 and marina prices are $3.20.

Helps to live close to the MA border.

Their prices are .30¢ to $35¢ cheaper per gallon than CT. :)

And the gas station is only 9 miles from the house.

WHOO HOO!!!

Although if Coupe DeVille Patrick has his way, that is soon going to
change to fund his "highway" improvement program.
