Just found this site and its filled with some good information. But, I have a question. I have a 2002, 115 2 stroke on the back of my 18' Prosport CC and recently did a 78 mile trip and found that over that trip I used 26.3 gallons of fuel for 2.96 MPG. This trip included WOT, cruising and trolling speeds. My question is, is this a little thirsty for this motor? I know it won't be the same as a 4 stroke, but is this a typical MPG of others with the same or similar motor. Thanks!
 
Carb'ed two stroke is 10% of rated hp. at WOT per hour. Under normal cruising operation, 4500 Rpm, consumption will drop. Just in case, have a tech. check your fuel pump diaphram. Thanks Martin
 
You are about right.Burn etoh free fuel and makeit 93 octane,you will see a big diffrence.Also get anal about filtering your fuel supply and keep a clean tank.You may have a little gel in your carb bowls.
