About 1.2GPH at 1850RPMs per engine....obviously prop pitch would have an effect on this. This was the fuel burn on my Prairie 29 with a Perkins 4236 in it. SO I would guess around 2.5GPH at about 7.5kts in the Cali 34....again...just a WAG.

I have the twin 85HP Perkins. I burn about 3.5 gph at 8 kts, which is my cruise speed (2400 RPM). WOT is 10 Kts (2800 RPM).
It's a little better than 2 MPG...with 250 gals on board, that's 500 miles with reserve. LRC!!
