With my 660 gallon capacity and normal cruise rate of 7 knots, I have a 2,000 miles range with a 15 % reserve. Did almost 2,000 miles last summer between fuel stops in the Great Lakes. Planning out fuel stops saved $ .50 to $1 per gallon. Well worth the effort. Interestingly, the fuel burn doesn't change between full and empty when going 7 knots.
