I've had mine for a year, also has H-T phase 3 on it. No complaints at all. Good on gas, probably because I rarely have it any where close to wide open. Have run my 201 Evo to upper 80's, mid 80's loaded to fish with 2 folks. Can't tell it from stockas far as idle and starting.

I've got an 04 and love it. I've never had any problems out of mine but I keep up on all my maintenance, changing filters, decarbon every once in a while etc. The gas consumption is good in my opinion, I had an old Johnson 150 once that was alot worse than the 300. In the past couple of weeks mine has started to idle a little rougher than normal, haven't figured out why yet, but other than that I like mine.
