When we went to LOTW for the first MF outing, I was running and gunning with Kly in my Lund with a 135 Opti. My gas tank gauge must have been off, because on Thursday it said less than 1/4, and I could only put in 16 gallons. It had a 30 gallon gas tank. Now, I wasn't taking it easy by any stretch. And we were going out farther than anyone else in camp that week. I was really impressed with that. Further, I found the optimum cruising RPM was right around 3700-4000 RPM. The she got really great mileage. Another plus is they are real easy on oil, too.

I expect that the 150 is just as easy on gas as my 135. Great motors.
