Hi - Today was a slow day fishing so I connected a laptop to one of my engines to check my fuel performance numbers, particularly for trolling. These are E-TEC 200HO engines which are big-block 3.3L V-6s de-tuned to 219HP so they compare to 225s rather than small-block 200 HPs. I was only running one engine for trolling with the second engine shut off but still tilted down.
Single Engine
Idle (in Neutral) ~500 RPM @ 0.19 GPH - (that's 5 hours to burn a gallon of gas..!)
RPM --- GPH -------- Speed(MPH) --- MPG
480 --- 0.24-0.27 ---- 2-2.2 -------- 8.3
600 --- .43 ------------2.8 --------- 6.5
800 --- .625 ---------- 3.6 --------- 5.75
850 --- .7 ------------ 3.9 --------- 5.6
1150 -- 1.09 ---------- 5.4 ---------- 5
Both engines
480 ---- 0.23x2 GPH --- 3.1 MPH --- 6.7 MPG
1450 --- 1.44x2 GPH --- 7.5 MPH --- 2.6 MPG
Cruise
4000 RPM --- 10.1-11.1 (x2) GPH --- 31-32 MPH --- 1.44-1.53 MPG
Respectfully submitted,
