There are people getting better gas mileage with the 4 strokes. If gas mileage is your most important issue look at the Suzuki and yamaha 4 strokes. They are a little better on fuel mileage. The etec's are also supposed to be good. For me I wanted the lighter motor and 453 lbs and the lower cost sold me on the 200 hp ox66. The best fuel saving device for me is the Navman 3100. Every time you want to go fast it shows you the penalty. Yamaha has a web site that tests different boats with 2 stroke and 4 stroke motors so you can compare the gas mileage on a boat with the 2 stroke and 4 stroke motor.
