My tank is 96 gallons, feeding a Mercruiser 496 Mag HO. I'm not sure how much running time that gives me since so much depends on how fast I'm cruising and how much I get into the throttle, plus how much weight I'm carrying on any given day. I usually cruise at 45mph, sometimes 50, but with the price of gas now, only occasionally do I go wide open throttle. Since I trailer, I'm lucky that I can fill up on land instead of at a marina; that saves alot of $$$! I usually fill up when it gets down to about half a tank so that means I'm usually filling up every third weekend that I use it.
