Fuel Consumption

[CottageMaker]

Hi:

Quick question on "average" fuel consumption of a S-185. What might be a good estimation for fuel use (gallons per hour) for smaller jobs such as clean up, or moving around some materials for retaining wall construction? Running intermittantly at less than full throttle. Examples would be low hour jobs, or jobs where they may be short and running between sites, without driving to a fuel station to acurately determine gallons to refuel. Understanding that these would be an estimate, but at least a somewhat educated stab at something to add to the bill.
Thanks for your input.
Tim

My 773 g is 1 to 1.5 gph depending on work being done. Of coures you have 10 more hp.
Takes a couple pretty good days to burn a tank of fuel.
Roughly 90 litres per tank

I have a T200 and when I'm pushing snow I will go through a tank (23 gallons) in about 7-8 hours. If I'm doing light work I can run for about 10+ hours. It all depends on how you use your machine.
