The crew of *Zatara* reports spending over $10,000 on fuel during the current cruising season in the Mediterranean, with costs reaching $8 per gallon in Italy.19:10 Frequent motoring, necessitated by a broken furling motor earlier in the year and inconsistent wind patterns around Mediterranean islands, has driven consumption higher than anticipated.18:32 To manage costs, the crew utilizes a bi-directional oil pump system plumbed to the main engine and generators, allowing for efficient oil changes and fuel transfers between tanks.11:10 They also employ a KTI Systems fuel polishing unit to maintain fuel quality.12:21 When marina prices are excessive, the crew occasionally transports fuel in jerry jugs via rental car to avoid premium dockside rates.19:27 While anchored near Tropea, Italy, the crew monitored local wildfires and high-wind Mistral conditions, forcing them to seek shelter in a protected anchorage before attempting a two-night passage to Sardinia.7:21
