With my 80 gallon diesel tank, I'll probably never really know.
In Response To: How many NMPG does your boat get?

() So I'm glad when people report GPH's in similar sized boats. With 80 gallons and the type of coastal sailing we do, it's rare to fill the tank except at the end of the season. Because of the size, it's not easy to get a consistent fill up, I usually stop short as I hear the vent gurgle or I'm out of money.
