Volvo AQ fuel consumption

I remember seeing a chart some time ago about the volvo AQ motors and the fuel consumption (GPH) at cruise and WOT. Does anyone know where this is?

I'm most curious to know what the spec AQ125A fuel economy is.
 
Never heard of that chart before. But if it exists (a big IF IMO) I would probably not rely on it unless it takes into consideration many factors affecting fuel consumption. Regardless of the AQ package, fuel consumption depends on which type of boat the package is installed, how heavy is the boat, propeller size, how the boat is operated, etc.
 
Is this the chart you are referring to?? It's the only one I have ever seen and relates to Coronet Boats but not a bad rule of thumb for others.

Note:
One imperial gallon is approximately equal to 1.201 U.S. gallons.
One imperial gallon is exactly 4.54609 litres, whereas one U.S. gallon is exactly 3.7854118 liters.

My 1984 Bayliner 2060 Trophy with an AQ125A burns about 5 gal/hr at cruise which is very much in line with this chart.
