The fuel usage is the first thing I noticed when I went out with Scotty hydra 1.4 gph at troll My 99 Rude gph gauge reads 0.4 an hour, I have also heard the Opti use around the same amount as the HPDI
Also if Yamaha and Mercury want to continue to produce Di 2 strokes after the next emission requirements they had better forget about there current design and find a new and improved design. By the time Yamaha gets the 250 and 300 HPDI straightened out they will need a new cleaner motor.
