If that in INSTANT that means nothing. You need to see AVERAGE even though that can be rigged. Tailwinds, downhill, etc.
Boat owners are getting killed at the pumps.Our family boat uses 45 litres to convert the 32 mile round trip to the cottage. At $2.09/L it's essentially a hundred bucks to get there and back.And our boat is nothing compared to the boats we see cruising by. $300 day cruises are a regular thing for people.

It's a suckers game with the current government. TAX TAX TAX. The Tremor is unexpectedly good @ 14.4 since new. I never reset it. I saw the MDX the other day @ 11.4. 90% of our driving is rural highway @ 100 kph.The Yamaha jet boat is, what it is. It's a 3.5 months of the year proposition and used depending on water conditions and temperature. It gets pretty good mpg although it's not towing people yet. I bought gas at $1.55 yesterday and managed to stuff $200 liters into my portable tank which has turned into a godsend as the only marina in 30 miles had it's gasoline permit pulled by the MOE just after they installed new above ground tanks vis-a-vis MOE orders. There are at least 100 really large boats there with no fuel. People are losing there minds. I would be.

Guess it would take a while to fill those huge tanks from 25L jerry cans like I do with my little runabout!
I'm more impressed a supercharged Pontiac made it over 400,000
