I doubt gas comes from the factory, Gas = Extra Weight on the Boat = wasted $$$

Default well since they DO have to drive it off the asembly line...

I'd guess they put less than a eighth of a tank, just enough to get it from line to train, train
to ship, ship to transporter, and transporter to dealer recieving. It's probably whatever
european RON # = 92-95 octane, possibly with a fuel stabilizer added, so that with all the
sloshing on the boat the gas doesn't turn to varnish. So when you take it from the dealer
I'd guess 80% of your full tank was US 92 octane.

Ocean cargo transport is sold by volume, not by weight as on an airplane.
