Going off the GPS I took about an 10 mile excursion pretty much at WOT (4000RPM). Got back to check the gas take an burned up about 4 gallons maybe a little more of gas. Was averaging about 20mph with a full load 4 guys, 3 dogs, and gear (yeah I'm a taxi service). That can't be right... can it? _________________ 18x48 Brother Breaux -- 36HP ProDrive

Maybe I'm just not comparing apples to apples. I'll give the only 1 gallon of gas a try and see what kind of time I getting. Or maybe just by a 12 gallon tank and be done with it. _________________ 18x48 Brother Breaux -- 36HP ProDrive
