Default Fuel consumption

How much fuel do you burn on a regular fishing trip? What kind of boat you running? Rpm? Also how many mile would you drive on that one trip?

Bullet 21XDC / 225 ProMax
I usually burn between 11-20 gallons on a trip. Most RPM's on trip between 5500-6500. No idea of distance but running from Hebert's to the far south of BL and back I burn about 10 gallons. Average speed about 60-65mph.
