That statement is useless without a time factor better than 'per day',
Eight hour day would be maybe 2 gallons per hour. I don't think that
is what you meant.

Really, and 14-20 gallons wouldn't be that much for any boater with an
engine around that size who ran at a high cruise or was pulling tubes or
skiers.

You don't pull skiers, wakeboarders or tubes at high cruise.

Try reading the sentence again, braindead.

"...ran at high cruise *or* was pulling tubes or skiers."

My experience is that pulling a skier/tube at 3000 rpm, or a wakeboarder
at 2200 rpm would burn about the same or maybe slightly more than
running at 3400 without towing anyone.

What have you noticed when you are pulling skiers/wakerboarders and tubers?

What I noticed is you cannot properly decode a simple sentence.

So are you saying there is no appreciable difference between cruising
at 3400 rpm and pulling water toys at 2200-3200?

If so, we do agree. Who says pigs can't fly.

Good for you.

Could be IMO. Depends on the boat and how it is powered.

There are a considerable number of variables here, which you picked up
on but were lost on Reggie. Could be is the right answer.

Could be IMO. * Depends on the boat and how it is powered.

It also depends on many other factors such as number of passengers
aboard when doing 3400 rmp and pulling water toys at 2200 rpm.

All things being equal, I doubt pulling folks in water toys and in the
boat at 3200 rmp is the same fuel burn rate as cruising with with
those folks at 3400 rpm.
