Default Rage is great on fuel!!

Spent three days running aroung in my Rage over the 4th and started with full tanks and had just a touch under 3/4 tanks on Monday. Really impressed with the low fuel use!!

Remember, your fuel tank gauge is NOT linear in it's reading. The bottom of your tanks are V-shaped to some degree, not square.

Once you get down to 1/2 a tank on the indicator, you are probably down around 1/4 of it's total capacity.

Good to know, but still I thought I would have burned the tanks dry LOL

These boats are relatively efficient. That and some moderate throttle use will net some good mileage.
If you have saddle tanks like most Nordics, they are rectangular. Sydwayz is correct if you have belly tank, doubtful in a Rage.

I have saddle tanks do it should read right. Big motor in a small boat helps. It cruises at 3200 like butter ;-)
