    How bad is it on gas? I'm used to a 200xs it was great I know this one won't get half of what it got. My xp got 6 one barrel carbs on it. I'm hoping it's a lil better than mercs pro max.

    If you are talking about a ProXS vs a carbed anything, don't count on it.

    You will get a little better than 1 MPG with the 200 XP. Not much but in the 3-4 GPH range.
