I have the GXi 320 HP Volvo motor in my boat and have four years woth of meticulous fuel records if anyone wants them. They are in Excel format. 6.3 gallons per hour average. I'm estimating 11-12 GPH at cruise (full load) and just over 2 MPG. Those are estimates, but the 6.3 is dead-on. I can email it to whomever wants it. AL

Thanks for the records...Can you tell me what RPMs you consider cruising speed? I run 2800-3000 and cannot seem to get a good average. Any help would be great as i'm new to the boating world.

I sent you a regular email, but I cruise in the high 20's at about 3600-3700 RPM's. It's the sweet spot for that boat and the most economical cruise speed.
