Hi Rockfish,
I get in the area of 6mpg at a cruise of around 30mph over longer distances. Top speed is around 42-44mpg. I repowered from an Evinrude 150 2 stroke. With that motor, I was getting under 3mpg. While I realize I won't recover cost of a repower through fuel savings for a very long time (if ever), my range is now well over 300 miles. The noise and starting are both much easier as well.

I spent about $10k + tax for the engine, plus perhaps an additional $1k for rigging components. I did the install myself.
