Well at 3000 rpm cruise speed which gets me 50 mph I average 1.3 mpg. Then figure $.20(give or take) less per gallon. I average 1000 miles per season so figure about $175. or a couple of more dinners on the water

Another way of looking at it is , put 100 gallons in the tank , which isn't hard to do and save $20. each time and that's a few Powerball tickets
I think it was definitey worth it
