I mostly cruised at hull speed as we were never in a hurry to get anywhere but it seems that when we were pressed for time, the 44 liked 2200 Rpm which gave me about 20 Kts at about 36 gallons an hour or about .4 MPG.

If you convert 20kts to MPH for MPG you get 0.6 MPG which is closer to what I got when running at cruise. I ran a little harder at 2250-2300 and ran 25-26 MPH with a fuel burn of 0.7 MPG. If I pushed it to 2400 the boat would run 28 MPH.
