actually she dislikes the mall & shopping more than i do, but she knows my daughter loves it and it is a threat that works. she wants to go in the boat more than i do.

What stings the most is the memories of 36 gallons for under $40 in 98 - 2001. Those were the glory days :'(

I filled up for $2.729 / gal. yesterday (BR, I-85 and Hwy 109 in Thomasville).

I was so excited to get 20 gallons for less than 60 bucks.

BigShrimpin, yes, I have an 88' 2.0l Merc 150. She's great on fuel. I cruise around 3.3 mpg normal load. It's about a tenth worse with this new prop, but I know I can lift the motor 2 holes running this rev4. The rev 4 also has noticably more sterring torque.
