Ok so here are some real world differences** I just arrived tonite in hollywood fl from the chesapeake bay* I read the post 2bucks started with his flow scan readings* My boat is a 1973 34' marine trader* with a 21''x16 p 4 blade prop tru 2-1 gears** This is my 4th trip to s fla app 1270 miles* So total 7 laps considering up and back* First year I cruised at 1800 rpm used 2.5 gph and the trio took 1910.2 hrs stoped for fuel 3 times** In 09 i slowed to 1700rpm trip took184hrs wit fuel usages of 2.25to 2.38gph* this year I slowed to 1550rpms* trip took 205 hrs fuel usage was 1.75 grh and I had to stop only twice for fuel** I really did not think the 120 lehman could use so little fuel** For me it was a decent $ savings* You be the judge for your self
