Re: Fuel Economy
I covered 40miles last Saturday, and it took 24litres of fuel to fill... but would add that I was trawling at idle speed for around 1.5 hours; think that it is pretty economical really!
Of course if you want to get anywhere fast, and like running at full throttle (for me that's around 60mph with the low tuque prop fitted - better for pulling biscuits etc) then you will suck through the gas in less than half the distance.
Hope that this helps...

Re: Fuel Economy
Did around 38miles today on the ski... and as a few of you will know through personal experience the morning was shocking weather wise, so probably burned a little more fuel getting through the chop...
Spent around an hour or so playing around at Eastern beach and running at full noise racing, and again only used 26litres of fuel for the whole day..
With fuel prices of $1.729 per litre, that works out as $1.20 per mile (or for us younger ones out there $0.76cents per km).
Steve's RPX? 215HP seadoo that we test rode today apparently uses 1.5litres per mile (this is when running at the top end of it's range...); that works out to be around $2.60 per mile ($1.62 per km)... but boy what pickup!
I think I would rather loose the additional 20km on the top end speed for the economy!
I'm always interested in knowing what milage you get... let me know!
