Your yami 75 should be very compareable to my zuki 70. I burn 6 gallons an hour @ wot (5300-5800) and cover 22-27miles in that time so that's roughly 4mpg WOT. At a 4200-4500rpm cruise I suck 3-4 gallons an hour moving ~18-20mph for 5-6mpg. The only place I get better mpg is trolling @ 1000rpm where I can cover 10+ miles on a gallon. At cruise going 48 miles I would have sucked around 8 gallons and be a touch under 3/4 on the gauge. Also my toon is fairly effiecent as I can run 28mph with a light load, 22 with 6 adults on board.

Tk... showing my ignorance here, but what do you mean you looked at the "track"? I believe your boat and mine are pretty similar.... is your tank visible from the underside... I don't believe mine is, and I can't check it right now since it's at our storage place... will look and see this weekend.
mine is under the sun deck its clear or a yellowish clear yours must be in the motor pod if then you cant see it. as the tank is grey. our toons are close but your is a fishing model where mine is not. i beleive they made the sensor and pick up tube in one unit so if it reads empty its as far as the pcik up tube will go so then the tank might not be empty but since you cannot get fuel to the motor you might as well be empty
