    how much are some of you guy's paying for the AV gas? I haven't bought it in a few years (2.5 outboard era) at that time it was mid 2 dollars. And if I remember they sell it at the pump at fishers.

I know it burns clean and hot, is that a problem that you need to handle the way you run different?

    Hayes.....I boat right up the river from you.
    Port Barrington.
    I run 32:1 merc racing.
    If you want we can go in on some oil together.
    Will be picking up a barrel soon.
    if your interested let me know and saveyour jugs!
    I start with 15 gallons at the beginning of the season.
    Of course your running 2 motas, where I have one.
    Can't help you on the avgas thing.
    But I will ask around.

    Kaptain Kirk-
    I'd be intrested in the oil deal. Tell me more about it. How much did you go through last year?
    You get a 55? That's alot of oil. I plan on doing alot more running this year compared to last because of the the new boat.(bigger)
    Port of barrington, isn't that on the lower part of the river?
    Fortunately haven't had to do any. (wrenching) Always like to have a good place to go, if I need to though.
    What boat do you have KK? I was wondering if I've see you.

    HEY KPHAYES, JUST WONDERING IF YOUR SET UP HAS AN OIL INJECTION SYSTEM? IF SO YOU DONT NEED TO HASSLE WITH MIXING UNLESS YOU ARE TURNING REAL HIGH RPMS. OTHERWISE IT IS JUST A HASSLE YOU DONT NEED.JUST ANOTHER 2 CENTS WORTH!

    In all 3 Mercs that I've owned I mix 1/2 92 octane and 1/2 Av gas.I've never paid over $2.20 a gallon for Av gas.And I have never had a motor failure due to bad fuel,detination or oil.In my old 2.5 260hp Merc I ran the Merc performance blend oil and now in my twin 225 Promaxs I run the cheaper merc tcw3.
