6,800 RPM nets 142mph with fuel burn at 65 gallons per engine (2x)equals 1.10 mpg. :0 (BUT it only takes an hour to go 142 miles) Seriously, if I were to guess I would say cruise at the speed the boat feels the "freeiest" and there is a noteable quiteness/lack of strain (according to sound) on the engine. I have been thinking about this for a couple of days now, and that is the only answer I can come up with. Would also need to trim the motor accordingly. my .02 worth.
