I ran about 40 miles total and I used about 7 gal. ;D

Top speed was 35 mph with 25 gal gas, 2 adults, 3 kids, and a big lunch box on board, but I was turning about 400 rpm too many, looks like I could use a 20 pitch prop. (Assuming this tach is right) But with this prop the V shoots out of the hole.
