Re: Fuel Consumption
And some other rules of thumb:<br /><br />Do not carry any unneeded weight<br />Keep the hull & lower unit clean<br />Keep the engine tuned<br /><br />Cruise at the lowest possible speed where the boat is still on a clean plane. This is where the mpg is at it's best: WOT until it planes, then back off on the throttle as much as possible, while maintaining a stable plane.
