Re: 4 Stroke Nissan 9.8hp Gas Consumption
I have a very loaded alum 14' Mirrocraft with a 25hp EFI 4 stroke. I run a 12 gallon tank ( in bow to counter my fat butt in stern) for more than half dozen trips from Rumson Ramp west to the Front Street Bridge in Red Bank. That's 4 nautical miles as crow flies each way. Or a little over 4 nautical mpg's running near WOT making about 21-22k.
I can see you getting maybe hi 6 mpg or even 7 mpg at planing speed range.
But a 9.9 14mpg even idling along on a 6' inflatable seems optimistic.
