Thanks ALL for the info.
I get around 2mpg on my 8 mile trip to Icaco Island, 4 miles @ 7knots going in ( upwind ), 22knots coming back ( downwind ). I have an idea. I will pull a digital fish weighting scale I have somewhere, and do some calculations measuring the weight of the fuel used ( I`m using portable tanks ). That wil give me a fairly exact fuel usage using the weight of one gal of fuel/oil, and combine that to the average speed on that leg from the GPS. I will post the findings. ***I can guess that 2mpg is the rough magic number here. THANKS FOR THE INFO AGAIN COMRADES.

I suggest one of these. This simple addition will improve your mpg to 5!

YESSSSSS !!!
I want one of those !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In my case it will pay for itself in fuel savings, but I need to come up with the "maryjanes" ( slang for $$$ ) in my area. If I get to sell my Yami, I will be in the dealer next second.
