Boy, I am jealous of those diesels, and of that aluminum hull. 10GPH to 7kts comes out to roughly the same 3/4ths of a mile per gallon that I am currently getting. I still have the stock 427s in mine, but I hope to improve efficiency with the full tuneups I am having done, the conversion to electronic ignition, the new plugs & wires, and I might even rebuild the carbs. My goal is to be exceeding 1mpg when I'm done with it.
I plan on going on an extended cruise next week, probably 65 miles each way, and so I will be able to guage the fuel consumption better then. I will post my own numbers afterwards, since my measurements thus far haven't ben as exact as I would like.
Anybody know whether octane booster helps at all, or if it's just quack-science?
If we get enough people answering this post, I will create a table with the different Roamer models, and average fuel consumption.
Thanks for answering!
