I thought I few of you may be interested in the consumption you (I) get from a really UNECONOMICAL engine.
Ive had a few, but nothing can consume fuel like big V6 outboard engines. I have a 225 HP EFI 2 stroke Yamaha on my 6m plate alloy fishing boat and yesturday returned the following figures. Total engine hours for day 8.25 Total distance travelled (per track on GPS) 84 miles. - 134 km approx Total fuel consumed (per fuel management computer) 164 lt, plus a couple of lts of outboard oil. Most of the time was at idle or slow speed, 50 or so of the miles were at travel speed of 34 mph - 55 kmh approx, or about as economical as it can be ! So lt per 100 km ? TRY 122 lt / 100. averaged for the day. Oh, and water sports..... WOT = 52 mph = 84 kmh approx with a fuel burn of 94 lt / hr. Over a 100 lt / 100 km travelled. Tow more than one skier, and Ive seen it as high as 120 lt / hr. Think of it another way, at WOT my 3.2lt V6 ouboard drinks bloody near a 2 lt milk carton per minute. (5400 rpm) Still reckon your Boss or turbo uses too much fuel ??

When I used to ski race, we got around 1 mile per gallon, or 236 litres/100km.

How about this one then? A B-52 bomber taking off and climbing to cruising altitude uses 80,000 litres of fuel.
