4 Stroke Nissan 9.8hp Gas Consumption

I have a 14’ open aluminum boat with a 1974 Evinrude 9.9hp 2 stroke outboard. I can do about 14mph if it’s just me on the boat. My 3 gallon tank takes me about 12 miles before I’m empty. That’s 4mpg.

The new Nissan 4 stroke 9.8hp outboards claim to use 1 gallon an hour. That would translate into 14mpg on my boat.

Are the 4 strokes really getting that much better mpg’s? 4mpg vs 14mpg is a big jump.
