You're right Larry!
Just a bit of time cruising at optimum engine speeds (yes, I meant speeds)
lets you get a pretty accurate handle on fuel usage.
I know within a very fine margin my consumption at 2000, 2100 2200 and 2400
RPM (5.9, 6.1, 6.5 and 6.9kts) without a flow-meter. And I've worked it out
with an hour meter, dipstick and sight gauges.
Wasn't it your Mr Thoreau who said "simplify, simplify"?
