It's trickier over this side of Europe you know. Free of the fearsome grippe of the Sowlynte, we have Alternative Continents to consider.

You want to be goin' the right way

The main thing you need in the solent is a sharp pair of eyes to avoid all the fecking nobburs that float around it in Ribs and PWCs not to mention the ferries knocking up southampton water at 30+ knots.

Wow - 130:1 ratio on the XD100 is quite impressive. Think I will stick with that one on mine especially with comments on the Etec owners forum about use in cold temps.

There seems to be quite a fuel consumption penalty for running twins though - from what I can gather on here you would probably expect somewhere about 1-1.2L/nm with a single engine?

I'd guess they're about the equivalent of a 140HP, performance wise so yes, around that.

Joe Average does about 50 hours a season, so the penalty is approx. 300 litres or €400 in my money.

Data given for information only. This is NOT an invitation to reopen old wounds, I mean the Twins/Singles debate. 'nuff said

EDIT: The 2 litres of XD100 is an exact measurement. I filled the reserviors before departure and refilled them on return. The oil bottle was just at the 2 litre mark and filled the reservoirs perfectly. Sweet.

Not gonna get the golden calculator out, put our's appears to be pretty frugal on sh*tty coloured liquid gold these days. The Old Opti had a thirst for the stuff.
