Anyone have statistics on fuel economy of a 330HP 454Mag at various RPM's in a 22ft around 3200lbs? Does 1.3MPG overall sound reasonable?
Sounds low. I went 90 miles in a 22 Donzi 330 horse and burned 46 gallons of gas, which figures to 1.95 mpg.

Yuo did mean gph gallons per hour or gpm gallons per mile..lol...
The tests in the link below show just over 3MPG on a higher HP engine.

Sounds low. I get over 2.0mpg average on my 29' 7000lb cruiser with a single 454 310hp.
Mine is fuel injected though, so with carbs I'd probably be a bit lower. But still, on a 22, I think you're running rich.

Now that I think of it, I ran that 90 miles or so with only seven cylinders firing, so I should have done even better.

Most of the basis for fuel economy was at idle speed to around 1200RPM, with a few very short periods of full throttle due to speed restrictions on the Intercoastal waterway here. I think economy would be much better planing rather than "plowing".
