14 ram hemi -2090 warrior tandem @78mph =10-13mpg @68mph 14-16mpg @55=18+-
Same truck new boat a 2015 nitro z8 tandem @78=11-13 @68=15-17 @55 didn't care yet to drive that slow with the new one long enough to learn anything but with both boats I did guzzle down 8mpg bucking wind at 78. Slowing your roll definitely helps a lot if your concerned about it. Also pull a 177 warrior single axel it is about the same as the z8 just at 78 it's back to the 10-13 range probably because it's a duel console rather than a single console like the 2090 and z8. My numbers come from ND to MN 6 or more times a month and I have gotten over 20 mpg @ 72 round trip played the changing winds perfectly. My truck has the 8 speed tranny and does about 1mpg across the board than my 2012 hemi with a 6 speed tranny.
