Because there are so many factors which can affect your fuel
consumption, the
only true way of determining your individual fuel
consumption for your particular boat is to perform your own fuel consumption
"test".
Take one gallon of fuel and run your
outboard at wide open throttle until you run out. The
time it takes to use the entire gallon of fuel is your
individual fuel consumption amount and would be
considered the shortest time you could go without
running out of gas.
Now
do the same thing but vary the speeds from idle to wide
open throttle. In other words, use the outboard like you
normally would. You will now know the shortest time you
can use your outboard before running out of gas and the
average or normal time it will take you to run out of
gas.

Tohatsu
Outboard Fuel Consumption
We've
put together the chart below to help you determine what
type of fuel consumption you can expect from your
Tohatsu outboard. Please remember though, all figures are
approximate.
There
are a great deal of factors that affect the amount of
fuel consumption and therefore the figures listed below
will not necessarily be what you will obtain. Factors
such as weight, hull shape, hull condition, water
conditions, etc. may drastically affect the consumption
figures shown below.
The
following chart shows the approximate fuel consumption
of each model:
