Fuel I tend to be very conservative on this. I also tend to push the speed harder than I should. So. I use 1.0 to 1.1 gph when charting then keep track of my miles and time with the tracking feature on my iPad navionics app.
Actual usage is ~.8, but I would rather not ever run out or let the fuel tank under a 1/2 tank anyway.
