When you file they will send you a pre-printed form for the next year. (06-106 Texas Claim for Refund of Gasoline or Diesel Fuel Taxes) This is the form!

Let me guess. Idle or WFO are your only two speeds. +1 till Amistad got so low so now I'm saving a little fuel!

About 5-10 gallons a month. Cheaper to drive to the marina that is closest to your spots than to unload at a marina and spend 20 minutes driving your boat to the spot. +1!
15. Signature images may not be larger than 600 pixels wide by 125 pixels tall. This includes logos, photos and other graphics. Also, no more than one row of images are allowed. If you want four or five logos in your signature, reduce their size to fit in one row.

I don't use my boat for work so what ever the gas mileage is is not of concern to me, its for recreational use and I don't worry about costs involved with pursuing fun.

Just curious, what lakes do y'all fish? 120 gallons in a month seems pretty normal to me. I'm positive we use at least that much every month. Of course our 'home' lakes are Rayburn and Toledo, we fish every weekend and we aren't afraid to run them if need be. We have a '09 Yamaha 250 HPDI.

I average 5 gal per trip on Ray Roberts in my Tracker with a 75. +1 for my Triton with an Evinrude 115. Stop fishing or buy a smaller boat if gas is costing too much. I go fishing on the lake once a month and average 5 gallons a trip in my 17-footer, so that's an option. That's what I average in my 20' bullet with a 15" 2.5. 5-6 gallons a trip, one of the great things about having a "fast boat" is that I don't have to push it very hard to run like everyone else and use way less fuel. I normally drive just fast enough to get the hull up and efficiently running high 50's in the 4500ish rpm range. My skeeter yammi combo drank way more fuel!!!!!

This is kind of a loaded Question in more ways than one.
A guy that fishes The Bend as his home lake is going to use ALOT more fuel than someone fishing Lew..... No matter what kind of boat or motor.
A guy that Fishes offshore Structure is going to use a lot more fuel than a bankbeater....
I am Curious how many of you guys that claim 5 gallons per trip regularly make 25 mile runs in one direction?

I fish Lake Waco alot, to run 25 miles I would have to go from one end to the other several times. I will burn in 3 days on Fork what I will in 2 months on Waco. The lake you fish has everything to do with fuel consumption.
