[QUOTE="dhoganjr, post: 357677, member: 12925"] That only figures out to about 1.7 mpg. When I ran the Mercury 115/80 four stroke on mine I could run 60 miles on 12 gallons or about 5 mpg. With the 250/175 I ran 84 miles on 17 gallons at about 4.9 mpg, if I stay out of it I think I could break 5 mpg pretty easy. With both that is not running WOT all the time, mostly cruising about 4000 rpms. I know with the smaller hp engines you don't have much you can let off, but just a little will get a little better fuel milage if you're trying to conserve fuel. I would think you would be getting better than you are though. [/QUOTE]
