[Rhodes22-list]Speed Over Ground

[Bill Effros]

Rik,

The engine manufacturers are rigging the engines and the tests.  In the real world people are not getting the advertised results because their engines stall out under load, so they change the mixture.  I know I don't have to explain this part to you.

There are numerous papers out there debunking the 2X fuel mileage claim.  

Roger challenged me to perform fuel tests from my own boat.  What I said was that for numerous reasons I can't do these fuel tests from my own boat.  And I'm sticking with that.

Bill

Well... it seems to me you were discussing fuel mileage. It should be a 
fairly simple matter to relate your consumption in hours per gallon rather 
than miles (over ground) per gallon. The issue of currents would then be moot.

Sounds like you are trying to wiggle around the original question.

Rik
