Fuel report 8-9
We last fueled in Campbellford going the other direction. We finished the Trent-Severn, went to Kingston, did the Rideau to Ottawa and returned on this tank. It was 469.8 miles plus 98 locks and 25 hours on the gen-set. We took 518.6 liters of fuel @ $.89.9 Canadian. I convert this to 137 gallons at $3.12 U.S. using a 1.09 conversion factor. Allowing 17 gallons for the gen-set we got 3.9 mpg on this tank. The mileage was helped because we ran slowly through so much of the canals, but was hurt by all the idling and start stop in all the locks. I am still extremely satisfied with the engines.
