[QUOTE="thill, post: 462390, member: 4972"] It will be VERY interesting to see if I get better fuel economy with the 40 Etec. In that boat test video, the 30 Etec got 40% better fuel economy than the 40. For every 6 gallons, it takes 10 to push the 40. That's a HUGE difference! The 30 ran 26.4 MPH and the 40 ran 32.4 MPH WOT- 6 mph faster, but at quite the cost. They attributed the higher fuel burn to the larger displacement. The 30 has 577 cc displacement, whereas the 40 has 863 cc displacement. My 35 has 521 cc. It gets very good fuel economy at all speeds, but especially in the 20-22 MPH range. I'm predicting that the 40 will not get as good a fuel economy overall, but it may be similar at 20 MPH, if I can stay out of the throttle. I'm thinking a 30 Etec will get better fuel economy at all speeds. The more I look at it, the more I want a 30 Etec, versus the 40. [/QUOTE]
