Duh, - YOU please go back and read the original post!

He didn't ask how far he could get on a gallon of gas, he was asking
for ENGINE RUN TIME per gallon.

And now you've said...
"this person asked a very open, somewhat boating
illiterate question."

You're way off base. I'm sure you're eager to help other boaters, but
you need to be less judgemental of the skills of other boaters based
on the absolutuely nothing you know about them, and read the question
better before sounding off like a Wally-know-it-all.

i was trying to be a little less judgemental until you jumped in. how 'bout
this, you and Sven go on the trip and report back with your findings. deal?

as I stated, had he been willing to offer up a ltitle more information, he
could have had more meaningful answers. engine run time per gallon means
nothing if you do not equate or factor in the distance and here is the
tricky part for you, the weight of the boat. in case you might still be
confused, the bigger (i.e. longer) the boat, typically the more it weighs.
not every single case, but a good rule of thumb.

untill then, Happy Holidays to all.

p.s. I know my range and consumption!
