My commuter boat with a new single 300R clamp on - Needles to Havasu Springs + Springs back to the main marina for fuel stop will take about 20 gallons cruising at 4K +- 48-53 mph. A couple more gallons with some ski runs mixed in. Then a little more than a jug to fill it again back at the house -

I used about 40 in my Magic deck Ilmor 625 running from the island to Pirates then to Parker Dam then back to the island ranging 50-60 at 4500-5000 RPMs. I think it was pretty full when I headed out

Sorry had to edit your post, want to see if it’s actually true or not, cause if so holy hell i get bad fuel economy. Hopefully the fact checkers arrive soon.

From my previous calculations with google my maps. It’s pretty much 20 miles from Parker dam to London bridge and 20 more miles from London bridge to Topock. We do it in the stokers all the time.
