We sometimes have discussions here about fuel use. Over the last few
weeks we've used Mintball a bit more than had become typical, and have
filled her up to completely full on two occasions.

So I can give some vaguely useful figures - a total of 213 miles and 148
locks (171 miles of this was narrow canal, the rest broad canal or
river) - consumed exactly 100 litres of gas oil.

So that suggests about 2 miles a litre, and given the speed and the
locks I'd say 1 litre an hour (CanalplanAC estimates 106 hours for the
travelling).

She's a 52 foot narrow boat with a 1.5l BMC.

Odd. That's about the same consumption I get on a 6 litre 4LW in a 70 footer.
