Depends on the boat size and weight but that range is about right. Consider that 2.5 MPG at 30 MPH is 12 GPH. People can get much better GPH if it's a small light boat, like a 10 HP on the back of a rowboat or with the auxiliary in a sailboat going 5 MPH. Not sure who you thought was burning 2.5 - 3.0 GPH in something larger ????
