It is interactive.
Just click on the plus or minus under the tach and you can go up or down a few hundred rpm at a time....it shows gph in the window for one engine...make sure to pick your HP engine first.

Code: Select all
RPM GPH Speed MPG Range End.
600 2.16 3.2 1.5 311 97
1000 4 5.7 1.4 299 53
1500 6.8 7.4 1.1 229 31
2000 13.4 9.2 0.7 144 16
2500 20.6 11.2 0.5 114 10

3500 29.4 24 0.8 171 7
3800 32.7 27.5 0.8 177 6
4000 36 30 0.8 175 6
4500 49.4 33.3 0.7 142 4
Once I get true fuel flow data I'll be able to confirm if we really do get better economy going faster at 3800RPM than the 3000-3500RPM that seems like it should be better. We typically cruise at 1500-1700RPM, but we're not in any hurry to get anywhere.

Re: 366 fuel consumption
In real use there will be many other factors at play, for example, tides, currents, wind, sea state, canvas/boat design. So the guide numbers in the link are just that, a guide to get an idea.
Remember the accepted rule for safe fuel reserve on board.....1/3 out, 1/3 back and 1/3 in reserve....try to plan your trips accordingly.

Thanks for this. It confirms the gut feeling I have had for my 356 with 8.1’s.
