Solora s 250 coupe miles per gallon

[rasanborn]

I have read a variety of online reviews and AI generated information. Can forum owners please help me with real life mpg with the factory Yamaha 300.
I routinely travel 80 miles one way to an island to fish and there are no services there. I need a minimum cruise speed of 25 mph but would prefer to cruise at 30 mph.
I need a full load of fuel..full load of water to make the 160 mile round trip, plus a reserve and gallons for trolling. Any information would be greatly appreciated
many thanks rich

My C24 gets around 1.8 fairly loaded and 2 plus when fuel gets down to 30 gallons give or take.

With our Solara S250 Coupe, We always get around 250 miles per full 116 gallon tank and cruise at 30 mph with 2 persons on board.

We get about the same with the S250CW. A tank lasts over 250 if we back off the throttle a bit and go about 35MPH. Could go 300 if we optimize.

My wife and I were out today and with 40 gallons of fuel and half a tank of fresh water traveling at 4200 rpm and 30-31 mph we were getting 2.288 mpg. We have a four blade prop but at that rpm I believe we would be traveling faster by a couple miles per hour and same fuel consumption with factory 3 blade prop.
