Getting this thread back on topic..............

We topped off the tank today at our marina before heading out onto the
Lake. Still $4.19/gallon and squirted in a whopping 24 1/2 gallons..
Not bad after all the cruising we have done on the boat since the last
top off.
It will take about $775.00 to top of my two 70-gallons tanks in my
Regal in Bethel Island in the San Francisco Bay Delta. That's
figuring $5.50 a gallon. If I'm lucky. Haven't been to the Delta
this summer yet, so hopefully it's only $5.50. Reg. gas at land
stations is around $4.50 and up.
There is good news though. It may take only $675.00 to fill up as
I've got a few gallons in the tanks right now.
Whew! I'm so lucky.

I filled up a couple weeks ago and put in $175 for 47 gallons. Been boating
twice since then, but first trip was for shad and only went maybe 4 miles.
2 gallons of gas. This week went up to Oroville for a couple days boating
and did a lot of the movement on the T-8 kicker while trolling or on the
electric when bass fishing. So probably only burned 15 gallons of gas in
the two days.
