As many of you I'm sure have experienced, the trade off of buying a better engine for your boat is fuel efficiency. I bought the 2000 echo engine (+15 veils and +2000 engine power) and it is a gas guzzlers at full power (2). When I do my standard route to Mt.Palmerson, I used to be able to do it with 10 fuel, but now it takes me 13-14 (a 30-40% increase in fuel costs?). Ouch.
Is it possible that I'm doing this wrong? LOL! Level 1 speed of the new engine SEEMS very close (a bit slower?) to the old level 2 engine speed. I've experimented with traveling safe waters at level 1, and use the level 2 just for the dark stretches that are there. It seems like it eases the fuel waste but I haven't done extensive testing.
Has anyone looked into this?
