Denny,

I don't calculate mileage. We generally do not go that far and when the gauges get a little low we fill it.

We ran to Ron Jon's for the shoot out this year, both days. That is roughly 62 miles (16 miles each way, 2 days), I estimated we burned about 150 gallons of fuel. To be fair, the trim tabs did not work so at 3000 RPM we were pushing a lot of water at about 15 MPR on GPS.

1400 RPM 1 GPM for us with twin 454

Thanks for the info!
I hope to do 20mph most of the way, that would put us at our dock in about 2hrs. Just don't know what that's going to be for rpms. Going off what Chris said, I'm looking at least 62gals for the trip... still gonna put 50gals in each tank tho...

I think 20mph for my DA is about 3000 rpm

Wanted to see if the move went well and if your new pride and joy is home safe?

When our 7.4 hit 3,200 RPM the 4 barrels open and fuel consumption goes way up.
