Default Fuel economy - twin 115 v single 225

I would like to compare the efficiency of twins v a single on the same hull. Are there any MPG statistics like this available. Any deep vee hull is OK, it just has to be the same boat for the twin engine test and the single engine test.

After a quick search of the net I was unable to find any info.

Thanks,

Yamaha has an area for performance bulletins on their website.

LEt me guess, twin 115's did not burn twice as much as one 225.... Some folks on here will be shocked to see that...
