HDPI 250 hard on fuel

[chops]

Just had my new Yamaha hdpi 250 about 2 months I can,t believe how much gas it uses compaired to my Optimax

Thats because it has spent less time in the shop. Have you noticed how much faster your going with the HPDI? You can't just measure how many gallons a month you are burning becuse your making more trips. Try comparing gallons per trip.

You will use a lot more gas when not being towed back to the ramp.....

Yes.....when a motor isn't in the shop every week, it tends to use more fuel.

True all of you have ggod points.After all I did go with the Yamaha because as my man Tommy at Vic,s marine said they are bulletproff

Same here and oil consumption as well. Have had my 250 series 2 for 2 yrs and it is very expensive to run. I will be making a change when I can. As for some of the other posts...I fish 2 to 3 times a week at an average of 40-60 miles each time along with 6 and 7 day out of town TX's so this post is not my opinion just real experience...and expensive!
