I know it is a tough question based on driving habits, etc, but how far will
20 gallons go with a 19 foot cuddy I/O with a 165 hp four cylinder? Figure
calm water bay usage.

I am not asking for precision, but rather a ballpark.


At normal cruising speed it will burn 4 to 5 gph, so 20 gallons will
last 4 or 5 hours. To calculate mpg we need to know speed and that
will depend a lot on how heavily the boat is loaded.
