Lower Your Speed
Reduce speed from full throttle by 10% reduces your fuel usage by 20%.
Hopefully you’ll have favourable winds, but you will need to use your motor from time to time – but as it runs on marine diesel, this has a carbon footprint, and increases your fuel costs.
What can you do?
You can easily decrease your fuel consumption by cutting your speed: reducing your power by as little as 10% from full throttle will save you 20% in fuel costs. You’ll make your fuel last longer, save money and reduce your carbon impact – a win-win for the environment and your wallet.
