3.3 MPG aint too bad.

The 2 stroke outboard guys would kill for that.

Not this one. I'm doing much better than that.

3.3 is what I've averaged over the last 4 years or so that I've kept track with my 150 2 smoke.

3 letters for you, DFI. Them there direct injected motors can do pretty good now. I'd be happy to get 3.3 out of my flats boat, but that old 150 MERC likes to run.

Or in my case, HPDI. It's very efficient, and clean-running. Not as quiet as a 4-stroke, of course, but it's lighter than a 4, and if you're into the hole-shot it'll grab your attention.

Let me rephrase that......3.3 mpg, that is terrible. You might as well be running a 2 stroke outboard, getting that mpg.

3.3 is fine for a 2 stroke! I was running 86 Yamaha & 89 Evinrude both 175 hp average was the same for both 2.5

I will be happy to get the same with the Sea Ox??

I am only averaging about 2.25 out of my 2000 Johnson, but those loopers are known for drinking gas and oil so I can't really complain.
