Want to cut your fuel bill in half...cruise at hull speed, around 7-7.5 knots. Your wallet will thank you.

Re: 2005 41 CMY Volvo Gi
Whatever you do, do not travel at speeds between hull speed and full plane. All you will be doing is wasting a lot of fuel and kicking up a big wake which won't make you any friends. MPG's are worse at 12-13 knots than at 16-18
