Fuel economy
Got a quick question.. Has anyone ever tried calculating fuel Eco? Like a MPG on a cafe with out big power... I know it's a toy and some people don't care, I'm just talking about planning while out on the water if you go for a long run if you should plan on having money for more fuel type of situation..
I've heard a little less than $10 a minute but not sure. I don't think mines that bad but who knows.
So has anyone played around with trying to calculate this?

A big high performance twin cruising is usually 1 mpg+/-, and 2 gallons per mile running hard. That's a general rule of thumb for new and old high performance engines.
I have seen data for newer 8.2s showing 1.3-1.7 mpg cruising.
Now, a wet ride in a flat bottom heavy hull changes things of course.
My friend has a 24k lb 50 ft stepped vee with 3 1000hp that takes 3 gallons to each mile, cruising
