Default Re: Fuel consumption

When I bought my Yammi the dealer told me it was efficient, but I figured it was a sales pitch. *Most of our usage is pretty light duty, just me and one other going fishing close by, or me and the wifey cruising and drifting, so I never wanted to brag about how thrifty our engine was. *But recently we had some guests, and did a lot of fishing & cruising with as many as 7 aboard, and a lot of water skiing and tubing with a full boat, too. *I filled the tank before they came, and again after they left. *Here's the skinny:
38 gallons of fuel consumed in 8 hours running time, which comes out to 4.75 gph. *I think that's pretty good. * :)
