Fuel usage....

I know the fuel usage of my V24 exactly. ( 1.4 l per Nm at full tilt - 1.6 l per Nm at 8 knots )

I dont have much of an idea about the bladerunners promax 300's fuel usage.

Does anyone have an idea?

Best part of 2 litres a minute (each) at WOT I would have thought.

So you are saying ( roughly )

4 litres per min = 240 liters per hour = say 65 miles in that hour

= 3.7 liters per mile = 4 liters per Nm.



Wow - that is like 3 times the fuel usage of the V24!!!
