Merc 115 EFI, 6m Ribtec, at about 26 knots the gauge shows 6 gallons per hour - I have anti foul and my engine sits a little low so hope to improve the economy a little.

Old-tech Johnson Faststrike 115 carb 2 stroke on my Humber Destroyer 5.8 used to guzzle about 1.2L/nm on average, never had a flow meter so not sure of the specifics at any speed. It really does depend a lot on the engine technology - my 150 E-TEC burns a lot less than the 115 carb even though it's pushing a boat that's probably heavier...
