If I cruise at 1000-1200 rpm, I barely use any fuel and probably won't need to buy more this year. If I push the throttles, it could be 30+ gph, but that won't last long before we hit shore. Not like deep sea fishing runs.
30 GPH? WOW! I just have a '88 carbed 454 Magnum with 4 blade SS prop on a deep V. I thought 11GPH was excessive! If I putter around and load up the chambers with carbon, I can get 7 GPH.
