Default Re: 115 hp e-tech enough for an 18' SF?

and get you probably close to 4 mpg at 27 mph . . . cruise and about 40 mph wot.
Hey Gillie, since I averaged 4.3 mpg on my recent 700 mile trip with my 150 pushing a fairly heavy load and big bimini top, I think a 115 E-Tec on an 18 would easily exceed 5 mpg. Optimum cruise was about 2750/ 27-28 mph at about 37% throttle per the I-Command gage. I easily average 5 mpg on local trips with relatively light loads. With 50% less displacement, I'm thinking 6 mpg average might even be possible with a 115! Denny
