Do smaller motors burn less Fuel ? You would think so and in theory the should . But ( always a but) In many case the smaller motor will have to work harder to do the job. So it could burn more fuel.

Just something to think about .

Also depends on rpm , load and propping. My 454 hits nine knots at 1400 rpm with a 14 x16 prop for a bit over 2nmpg
