Default Re: Mileage Performance Checkup

3 mpg is probably about right. I'd average 2 to 2.5 with my 1989 Johnson 175.

With my new Optimax I do considerably better, in the 4 to 5 mpg range. A recent trip from ft lauderdale to key largo and back yielded an average of a hair under 4 knots per gallon (~4.5 statute per gallon) and that was heavily loaded and cruising in the 27-32 knot range.
