may have been covered before but I can't find anything.
I'm getting closer to biting the bullet on a new motor, and wondering about fuel consumption between sizes. In theory would a 9.9 use the same amount of fuel to go say 10km at 20kmh as a 20hp to do the same? Or would the 20 be running lower rpms and use less? Or would it actually burn more being larger displacement?
I know its hard to account for everything, but just in general terms how would they compare typically?
