How to calculate boat fuel economy
This calculator finds boat fuel economy by dividing distance traveled by fuel consumed — useful for comparing efficiency across trips, speeds, or engine settings.
How the calculation works
Fuel economy = Distance traveled ÷ Fuel consumed.
Example
60 nautical miles traveled using 20 gallons of fuel: Fuel economy = 60 ÷ 20 = 3 nautical miles per gallon.
Frequently asked questions

Pro Tips for Boat Fuel Economy
- Boat fuel economy varies significantly with speed — running at a boat's most efficient cruising speed (often well below top speed) can meaningfully improve miles per gallon.
- Compare fuel economy at consistent conditions (similar load, sea state, speed) for a meaningful comparison across trips.
Common Boat Fuel Economy Mistakes to Avoid
- Comparing fuel economy figures from trips at very different speeds or sea conditions, since both significantly affect fuel consumption.
