[QUOTE="DayDay, post: 5402613, member: 9643"] Was it a set fee (like purchasing the tank of gas that car rental companies offer) or was this the actual cost for filling the boats back up? A related story: I rented a boat in the Florida Keys for several days and after my first short run back to where I was staying I decided to fill it up before going out again. I figured that my initial use should have used about 4 gallons; it took around 20. I am positive that the tank was not full when I picked the boat up for rental. It was supposed to be full and of course the gauge indicated full. I was responsible for topping it off when I returned the boat so the extra gas was on me unless I could add fuel until the gauge indicated full. Boat gauges are notorious for being inaccurate. The boat should be topped off before renting it out and I'll make every effort to verify before doing this again. There was a marina pump just a few feet away from where I picked up the boat; I should have witnessed the renter performing a refill before I took the boat. Maybe it would only have taken a half gallon but at least I'd know. [/QUOTE]
