Is there an equation for figuring how many gallons per hour are burned? I did a search on google.com but only found
older 2 stroke GPH = hp/10
newer 2 stroke GPH = hp/12
4 stroke GPH = hp/15
(all based on running full throttle)

I would think that the weight of the boat would come into play as well.

The boat in question is a 22ft privateer w/1989 150hp johnson.
