Quick answer
Many people plan routes before knowing their real fuel burn. SkipperCalc helps, but the estimate improves when you enter measured burn or a published test for the same boat.
- Look for total fuel burn, not isolated burn for one engine.
- Record speed, rpm, sea state and load when measuring your boat.
- For budgets, use a cautious number if you lack solid data.
Base formula: litres = distance ÷ speed × fuel burn L/h
cost = litres × price per litre
cost = litres × price per litre
