I agree with Dakota and Padge. It isn't even about the money. Stazi, you are completely missing a huge part of this equation. Time on the water making memories!!!!! If you are burning double the fuel and have to refill more often, then that's less time to be out enjoying it. Not every lake has a marina, or they might only have 1 and it is way on the other side. Stazi, contrary to your own popular belief, you don't know everything, mate.
