Count on published cruising range stats only if you keep a set of oars handy. They're an estimate. You'll find a big difference between 6 kts & 36kts. You also won't get to the bottom of most tanks (nor would you want to). Generally you get the numbers at cruise speed or max range. Most builders don't advertise the stats @ WOT because a) you shouldn't be running there much & b) they don't want to shock you (for that Pred it was about 70gph cruise vs; 106gph WOT).
