I have a 150 optimax on a 18' Princecraft. The smartcraft gauges indicate I'm getting 3 miles per gallon at WOT. Is this good? What would the EFI be getting? I'm curious to what others are seeing on their smartcraft gauges for millage with the 150.
Thanks for your replies.

sounds about right, back off to about 4700rpms and see what it says then.

I never really paid attention to my fuel/hr for a significant amount of time so can't offer any info there. I just checked my gauge though and after 130 hrs on the motor, I have burned 136 gallons of gas. That's an average for everything from WOT to trolling. Hope that might help out some. The 150 Opti is pushing an 18' C-liner FH.

I've got a 150 Opti and get right around 4 mpg. Doesn't seem to matter what rpm I'm running at, I always seem to get 4. Hope this helps.
