    Im an easy cruse type guy now.I was just curious how my 60 etec stacked up against a 60 4 stroke.27 miles to camp equals 2 and a half gallons imperial or approx 3 gallons u.s.zero smoke what so ever.I had it set on the xd100 setting which equals about 2 years running per gallon.of oil.12 gallons...
