I agree with both responses. Fuel consumption is directly related to many variables. Running 30 miles on plane and at a scaled back RPM will be considerably more economical then doing numerous hole shots, towing skiers and blasting at WOT in a stiff wind or with a few adults on board. Depending on the body of water, if I have any such concerns I always take along a 3 gallon reserve tank but I have never had to use it. Peace of mind is priceless and an extra 20 -25 pounds won't rock the boat.
