Why do you want to go at 8 knots?

Because in Holland where we live there are lots of nice channels, rivers, lakes where you're only aloud to go about 8 knots.

We have twin 190hp's and although I could not tell you how much fuel we use at 8 knots it seems to be more economical at 6 knots.

Guess, at eight knots probly bout three litres per kilomtere (I'm trying to be metric).
But...at 100 mph, i saw that the gas turbine boats use 500 litres per hour. Which is also 5 litres per mile, just over 3litres per mile...and not bad.
Easily the cheapest is to go at zero knots, though I find that the chandlery and bar bills rather knock out the saving in diesel....

Two gallons per hour per engine or as other already said about 4 galls per hour total.
At least thats what my 120Hp Mermaids do when at this kind of speed.
