Fuel Consumption: Merc 469HO vs. Merc 525

Anyone know the tech info on this? Wondering how much difference there is at various RPMs.
Thanks!

You would think a boating question would get a faster response. :rolleyes: :)

Not a tech guy but I would say the higher the rpms the higher the fuel consumption, just a guess though :D

Not sure Merc releases that stuff, but I think there is a formula somewhere based on HP produced vs fuel consumed.
Why the hell would a baller like you care anyway?
:notam:

just a wild guess here but I think it will use more. :D
26% more. :idea:
If you can afford the motor, you should be able to afford the gas... :)

OK, I guess I need to be more detailed. :D
At 3500 RPMs, how much fuel does each motor consume?
At 4000 & 4500, same question. :)

Range :D

Michael-
Leave your damn barge alone!!
you get your bimini top fixed yet?

Mike,
If you have a line on a couple of 525's and you change your mind, please let me know. I would love to upgrade to 525.
Based of the guys I run up and down the River with, who have 525's, the difference in fuel usage seems to be small.

If you have to ask then dont do it:D They both (HP500vs496 HO) gobble up the fuel I know that, seems about equal for me in the same boat also, but if you have a set speed you like to travel I know for sure the rpms are quite a bit less with the blue motor if that helps:idea: NSF>>> PS with one step up in prop size of course.
