Perkins Prima M50 (Volvo MD22) fuel consumption on KALI MERA varies from 1,8 l/ hour with 1500 rpm (motor-sailing) and goes up to 4l/hour with 2300 rpm.  As we are not in a hurry with no wind we cruise with 5kn and ~ 1800  rpm and use about 2,2 l / hour.    If the prop is really dirty than add about o,5 - 1 l / hour
