In January I changed the oil and got fuel in the same weekend while diesel was 1.89 dollars a gallon and wrote down 1700 hrs and 300 gallons,today i hit 1801 hrs dipped my tanks and got 220 gallons,the dipstick onboard is quite accurate as i had checked it while pumping fuel,so im very confident in the calculations,that puts me at 1.25 gallons per hr over 101 hrs running the Broadbill at 1500@7+ knts,in favorable conditions,she holds 500 gallons,so by my calculations thats a true long range cruiser,if i pulled her back to 5 knots im guessing 4000 mile range or so,does that sound correct
