My Honda is very good on fuel; as long as I'm not hard on the throttle, I've noticed that I burn about 3GPH. Cruising speed on my pontoon at 3000 RPM is right around 30MPH, which is perfect for most of my boating. I never trust my gauges in my car, so I do the math when I fill up at the pump v. my hour meter. My last fill up took 27 gallons and I had put just over 9 hours on the clock. That was after 3 great days on the boat, so I think that's great to have a day on the water for under $40 bucks a day. Combine that with a cooler filled up from the grocery store and it's better than a day at the water park!
