Jeez,,,
I thought for a minute we were going to get into one of those higher math questions - if I burned 2.5 gallons in a half day, how far did I go???
For the answer, see....

Re: Gas "mileage"
Its all relative. My 70hp johnsuki can suck anywhere from .3 gallons trolling to ~6gph @ WOT pulling tubes. She does her best @ 2000rpm where it sucks 1 gph moving along at 7-8mph, that's my slow cruse speed. Fast cruise is 4000rpm @ 20mph where its up on top of the water with the nose cones in the air sucking 2.5gph, but I can only pull that off with a light load of 4 people or less.

My boat does not have gauges on the helm so I have no clue what RPM's I am hitting or speed. Driving blind
