So a few of us are planing a trip this summer to Chicago. This will be our first "long" trip with this boat so I have been trying to figure out a fuel budget. As best I can tell, my boat gets about 1mpg. Is this a correct assumption? That being the case, its 77 miles from South Haven to Chicago, so that puts me at 154 gallons for the twins. 154 gallons at an estimate of $4.25 a gallon is $655 in fuel for a 77 mile one way trip, or $1,310 for the round trip. Does this seem right?? Or is my economy estimates/fuel burn wrong. I guess that just seemed higher than I was thinking it would be for that run. Any thoughts or insight on this would be greatly appreciated!! Shaun
