200XS Fuel Economy Vs XR2 Info

Hi All,

Having done some 12hrs testing now in preparation for offshore class III I have realized i am burning about 1.5Ltrs a mile!! This is based on a 2000 2.0 XR2 running around 6500-7000 rpm on the catamaran.

I have worked out that it costs about £29 per 20L by the time i have mixed 33:1 With synthetic.

I guess 70 miles a race with 2 races a weekend i should budget around £300 a weekend for fuel/oil.....can anyone clarify my estimations??

I Wanted to know in race conditions (6750rpm) How much oil and fuel a Mercury 200xs would use?

Thanks

Should be something around 25% less for an XS

Oil savings??

Anyone got any idea on oil ratios for an XS?

I have been told on idle they run 600:1

What about flat out?

Cheers
