[StartQuote] Here is a chart from a Higgins that shows the principal. Also the High speed cruising test data where they ran PT625 for 1 hour at 2000 rpm on Port Forward tank used 390 gallons and then at 2400 rpm for one hour using gas from Stbd fwd tank (475 gallons used) Graph shows number of engine in use, rpms vs speed in knots, note that the graph stops at 22 knots when on 2 engines only and 9.5 knots when running only 1 engine since the engine cannot physically move the boat any faster when all 3 not running.
