Hello
I was reviewing my manuals for my Detroit Diesel 8.2 engines to help calculate fuel burn and it's a bit fuzzy to me. On the attached image I'm not sure which line to use to or if it's a range for fuel burn. At 1200 RPM's I can't imagine I'm burning 6GPH per engine and at 2500 RPM I can't imagine burning only 5.5GPH per engine.
I typically cruise at about 1750 RPMs and sometimes kick it up to 2500 if I need to run from weather or get somewhere quickly.
Thanks in advance
