Mojo is 50 gallons. I have been thinking it wouldn't be a problem but then I started to read a trip report from someone else and they stretched it a bit too far and it got me worried. He was getting 1.5 mpg instead of 2 mpg due to a problem with the boat he was running. I haven't ever tried to track it. My BIL just about ran his Supra SL out doing a similar excursion but was able to buy gas off of a houseboat. I really wouldn't be too worried except the mid-lake marina (Dangling Rope) was damaged last summer and NPS hasn't been able to find a replacement, leaving about 80 miles of lake (not counting the 10 miles up the other river arm we will be going to) between the two closest marinas with gas. I recalculated my trip and it will really run about 80 miles total, but I think I will be fine. I will be tossing in 10-20 gallons in cans for some peace of mind though. Hopefully in a couple weeks I will be able to send a nice shot of us passing beneath Gregory Natural Bridge.
