Last year we used just under 5 gallons of gasoline. This year we switched to an electric auxiliary (Torqeedo Cruise 2.0 tiller) and have not used any fuel.

Ironically, our slip is right next to the fuel dock.

I answered none. I only use the engine to get to and from the breakwater, otherwise I'm sailing. I would rather lope along at 2 knots than turn on the engine to get home faster, but I've always been that way. As for driving, I drive a TON for work as I am a real estate appraiser. I raised my fees $ 25 per appraisal.....no more problem. I think they call that trickle down economics.

No impact at all.
