Gas used this year?

Featured Replies

Just wondering how many gallons of gas you've bought for your boat this year. I used about 25 gallons, for 41 trips . 8-) 16' deep v alum/50hp Evin. I know that some of you guys may use that it 1 day...

I don't really keep track of it.  My boat holds 55 gallons of gasoline and I have topped it off 10-12 times so I guess around 400 gallons in the boat and it takes more than that to get to and from the lake.

11 gallons of gas, many hours on the trolling motor. 9 gallons of gas in the truck. I live in a county with 72 lakes, atleast 14 of them are considered "prime" lakes. ;D

560 gallons would be my best estimate.  ;)

Claimed about 4400 last year. I got back .22 cent per gal on non highway taxes.

How can I claim my boat gas?

I have that beat.. my 25 hp motor wont run flat out so I idle and go slowly so I used about 30 bucks this season. I was restricted this year to certain parts of lakes. Also fished a lot of trolling motor only lakes  :'(

About 48 gallons.  Due to problems with my boat pullers  :-[ (one got stollen and the other just didnt waont to get the job done) I have been mostly jon boating this year.  3.5 and 7.5 dont used much gas  ;D

Not too much, 40 hp 2-stroke mercury. Spent about $15 a weekend depending if I was fishing electric ponds or no, which is about 4-5 gallons. So probably about 65-75 gallons this year.

About 15 gallons.  25hp 2 stroke.

Not much in the boat. I'm guessing 120 gals for the boat that has a 90hp Yamaha 2 stroke.  That # would be alot lower if i didn't fish tournaments because then i run wide open (6000rpms at 46.7mph).  Otherwise at 4200 rpms and 33.1 mph is fast enough for fun fishing.  Otherwise my belief is if ur not on the trolling motor than ur not catching fish.  Thinking of switching out to a 90hp Mercury Optimax.  The real killer is driving to the lake in which I think i used about 600 gals.
