Because
there are so many factors which can affect your fuel consumption,
the
only true way of determining your individual fuel consumption for
your particular boat is
to perform your own fuel consumption "test".
Take
one gallon of fuel and run your outboard at wide open throttle
until you run out. The time it takes to use the entire gallon of
fuel is your individual fuel consumption amount and would be
considered the shortest time you could go without running out of
gas.
Now do the same thing but vary the speeds from idle to wide open
throttle. In other words, use the outboard like you normally
would. You will now know the shortest time you can use your
outboard before running out of gas and the average or normal time
it will take you to run out of gas.

Nissan Outboard Fuel
Consumption
We've put together the chart below to help you determine
what type of fuel consumption you can expect from your
Nissan outboard. Please remember though, all figures are
approximate.
There are a great deal of factors that affect the amount of
fuel consumption and therefore the figures listed below will
not necessarily be what you will obtain. Factors such as
weight, hull shape, hull condition, water conditions, etc.
may drastically affect the consumption figures shown below.
The following chart shows the approximate fuel consumption
of each model: |
