280 with a Single Gas Hog.
280 with very efficient engines, but 2 - more weight, more drag, less work for each.
300 with V-8's - should use a little more gas, but, depends on injection systems...
300 with bigger V-8's, but the most efficient drives. Should use a little less gas than the 300 above.
I can see them using about the same gas.
I agree with that.
My 290 (5.0 MPI / B3's) is 1.5 MPG at cruise (20 gph @ 30 mph). The MPG doesn't change much as the speed and fuel flow are proportional. At 5000 rpm it's still 1.4 MPG ( 32 gph @ 46 mph). I wouldn't want to putt around in a boat this style but I don't mind putting...
