That's certainly the easy way, Dixon. But my boat may sit for weeks between rides, so I fill it up every time I use it to minimize water in the fuel.

Besides, knowing my fuel burn rate is VERY important when I plan to travel to the Middle Grounds, 87 miles seaward of the nearest gas station. Heading home and then running out of fuel 25 miles short of the coast would likely cause deep and dark depression.
