i'm not real familiar with the XS engines, so i have no idea. 32 GPH seems awfully high for WOT burn on a 250. My EVINRUDE was built up to every bit of a 250 and WOT burn on it was 28GPH turning it right up to around 6100. The 3.0L MERC I always thought was a bit better on fuel as we had an older carbed 250 MERC and it was pretty good on fuel burn on a 231 PROLINE. I know the OPTIMAX engines are the best right now out there for milage though for new engines, only ones better were the 00-03 FICHTS I believe. Just make sure and run a good oil unless you want to be changing out compressors and air injectors in it is what I have heard.
