At what rpm, which engine, what speed, what's your hull speed?

Further your fundamental claim is flawed because Donal's 28 hp engine is
probably run at reduced throttle and actually puts out about 12 hp to
cruise at
80% of hull speed. (I'm just guessing because I don't know the details of
his
boat or engine.) He probably uses slightly over a half gallon to go
about 7
miles. Doing that, 10 Imperial Gallons is plenty to get him over to
France and
back.

On a flat calm, I can do 74 miles on about 7.5 gallons. If it isn't flat
calm, I usually get assistance from the wind.

Donal
