Depends on the boat. Mine is pretty efficient hull design, and lighter. My overall average is 4.5 gph and change. I'm not that light on the throttle, but lately, I get better mileage at 30 mph.
I have the 5.0 V8 MPI 260 HP Merc driving a 22' cuddy.
Average for boats of my size is around 7-8 gph. They ride better, and are heavier.
My friend has a 28' Rinker cuddy, and he gets around 9 gph as his average. The weight is double.
