What is Boat Fuel Consumption?

Boat fuel consumption is the rate at which the engine on a boat consumes fuel, typically measured in gallons per hour. The fuel consumption depends on the horsepower of the engine, throttle level, and type of fuel used.

Example Calculation

Example 1:

Calculation:

\[ FC = \frac{0.50 \times 200}{6.1} \approx 16.39 \text{ gallons/hour} \]

Example 2:

Calculation:

\[ FC = \frac{0.40 \times 300}{7.2} \approx 16.67 \text{ gallons/hour} \]
