15hp 4 stroke fuel consumption

[Steve509926]

Pottering around Ulleswater yesterday, probably did 20 miles at various speeds. Mostly 1/2 - 3/4 wot. I noticed this morning that only 5 litres of fuel has been used.
Does this sound about right?

Sounds about right. I get around 4nm/L from the DF20 on the Volaire.

I'd say that's about right too. We never used our Suzuki 20efi on flat water but we consumed at the rate of 7l per 20Nm in on/off throttle sea conditions.

Thanks all. Good to know it's running efficiently and it gives me a good idea of what fuel to carry on longer trips. I have been taking far too much.
