Frequently Asked Questions
How much fuel does a typical gas ice auger use per hole?
Most 2-cycle gas augers use roughly 1-1.5 ounces of fuel per hole, depending on ice thickness and auger power, though this can vary by model.
Does this include oil mix costs for 2-cycle engines?
No, this estimates raw gasoline cost only. If you're mixing 2-cycle oil, factor in a small additional cost per gallon of fuel mixed.
Is a gas auger cheaper than a propane or electric auger long-term?
Gas augers usually have lower upfront costs but higher per-use fuel costs compared to electric augers, which run on rechargeable batteries.
