[QUOTE="cajuncook1, post: 155273, member: 2832"] A general rule of thumb regarding outboard motors and fuel consumption. fuel consumed WOT per 1hp is 0.1 gallon of gas/per hr 20hp X 0.1 gallon fuel = 2.0 gallons/hr at WOT (You can't compare to efficiency to cars or land vehicles) Now this a general rule of thumb. As you use your motor and boat will get a better feel for your motors fuel consumption. Naturally older make motors tend to be a little thirstier. I would get a get a 6gallon tank for your 20hp. I'm glad she gave you a good time. :) [/QUOTE]
