If its a 2-stroke kiss your gas goodbye. hehehe. Heavy day of riding will use two tanks of gas.

i thought all waverunners were realtively good with gas?

i guess the waverunner we're looking at has a 3 gallon tank and it lasts for 3 hours, so that sounds pretty good

Wakeness450, not if u are pulling someone. that causes more stress on the engine which uses more gas

If you're looking into a 98 seadoo - they have like 7 or 8 gallon tanks. You can pull for a solid 4 hrs on one tank. It's all relative nowadays anywho. There are new skis out that require premium etc.. just buy the thing.

20 dollars lasts me about 4 hours. That's in Canadian dollars and in litres at $1.25 a litre.

1 gallon is about 4 litres.

I have switched over to premix on my ski......93 octane + 32/1 Dominator Oil Mix ratio....it adds up

I have a 2 stroke Yamaha, 15 gallon tank... lasts me 2 days of riding easily for a large amount of riding

SnoSk8er10, I'm calling BS one that. Stop trying to glorify your ski. I managerd a jetski rental business for 2 years. Their no way in hell you can get even a full day of riding for 8 hrs out of 2 stroke ski. $ stroke are the oly way to go, but you have it pay much more for one.
