    Ringfree

    Hey guys, I was wondering how many of you use ringfree and do you think it helps. I have had my F250 for one season now and used it only twice. I want to make a decision whether to use after every fill up or not us it at all.

    Gas Mileage got worse

    So you guys are saying 1.5 to 1.7 miles a gallon is normal? Keep in mind I usually fish with one other guy. As for gear, I have a 24 gallon portable livewell that weighs about 220 pounds when filled to the top.

    Gas Mileage got worse

    When I ran the boat back from the dealer, the boat had about 7-8 hours on it. It currently has about 65 hours. As for fuel, I fill up with 89 octane which yamaha recommends for the f250. I had my 20 hour service done but there was no tuning done on the engine.
