That boat held four adults and all our luggage comfortably and got ~30mpg crusing at 75/80 mph. I was really impressed. My last 400 mile trip with my '95 SET returned about 28 mpg with just me on board.
All else equal, horsepower is horsepower. It takes a certain amount of fuel and air to produce a given amount of power. Modern engines do such a good job of metering the fuel that there doesn't seem to be much difference between engines of comperable outputs.
In car mag road tests with Saab, BMW, etc., the Saab's always seem to score the same, perhaps +/- 1 mpg real-world mileage figures that the other cars do. In fact, I seem to remember one test where the SET got slghtly worse mileage that the comparable BMW.
