Just wondering about how much fuel do you guys go through in the average day. I know the average day can vary quite a bit, but ballpark, if you were out on the lake from 10 in the morning to about 7 at night touring/skiing/goofing off, how much gas can you burn? Just wondering what the record is for a speedster w/240EFI.

I don't burn more than a tank a day and that is with some pretty hefty driving, pulling tubers etc.

Mine is not a 240EFI, and I have used a tank and a half in a day as you describe. That is with riding, tubing, whatever- fully loaded (4 persons). It all depends on how you drive, your load, weather, currents and other things. Remember: a third tank there, a third back, and a third just in case. You could even carry a fifth in case you run out of thirds, just to pass the time!!
