Default Re: What's you MPG??

72 Seafari, 1991 Merc 150 reman'd 2002.

Cruise at 4300 rpm, 35 statute mph, 9.9 to 11.0 gph on the Navman 2100, or 3.2 - 3.5 mpg depending upon sea conditions.

Wide Open Throttle gets 6100 - 6150 rpms running empty, (depending on temp, humidity, chop, etc.) about 51-53 mph top speed, fuel burn about 18.8 - 19.4 gph, or 2.6 TO 2.7 mpg at WOT. No trim tabs, but these figures were with a nose cone on the lower unit, and engine mounted pretty high.
