My boy was bustin my chops

Pending which ramp I use its either a 65 or 75 mile round trip to the nearest reliable tuna grounds, and home of course. I have room to store another 12 gallon tank easily. I've run a whole bunch of miles watching my fuel meter, I get 3.5 easy in good weather and 2.5 if it turns to snot. I'd like to leave 15 gallons in the just in case fund, so I'll plan my trips running an average of 3.0 mpg on 45 gallons of useable fuel. Thats a 135 mile round trip that I'm comfortable with. I use 3.0 in my calculations because while I may have to come in a bad weather, I ain't going out if a can't make my numbers.
