Best rpm for gas mileage
Anyone know the best rpm range for getting best gas mileage.
6000 rpms keeps me around 50 mph. I was thinking that was a pretty good cruise range.
I'm looking for a good rpm number for cruising long distances.

I think someone tested it in a magazine and found 6000 was the magic number.

I found it at boattest.com
The magic number is 25% throttle which is 35.9mph stock and gives 12.82 miles per gallon. Wow that is 204 miles a tank!!!
I think I'll go 40-50 when cruising
