I think it's very likely that it uses .75 gph at 7.5 mph. This is a true
displacement hull. At 7.5 mph in relatively calm conditions, the motor would be
running far below half power. My 27 foot sailboat (also 4-stroke outboard) uses
less than .5 gph at that speed.

I'm betting that you would burn a lot more than that at 7.5 mph, and
you have a longer water line and better prismatics.
