I would not expect more than 1 mpg, I also know that what you think and plan to do on a certain day ALWAYS ends up to be longer than you expect, there is ALWAYS the "one more spot just a little farther" or "just another 10 min" your 12 miles out and 5-6 miles trolling and back will end up being more times than not 20 miles out and 10-15 trolling. total of about 65 miles, I am always shocked how far I end up running when I go back and look at my estimated. With gas prices today that is a $260 trip, I am not trying to discourage but I sence a hint of hesitation. Just trying to give you a experienced perspective
