Like Lou said go slower or make sure you high speed needles are set properly. I would consider that ski decent on gas. There are far worse out there. Get a 96 xp if you want to see a gas hog. Healthy 787 + a 9 gal tank = gone! I went 40 miles in mine on Saturday and was on vapor when I got back to the ramp.

My Islandia is 28 Gal/hr.
All you can do is buy something with a smaller engine... or just sit on the beach. Lets face it... it's an 80 hp toy, that sees full throttle a lot of the time. And the key word is "TOY"... so you don't have to ride if you think it burns too much fuel. Compared to new skis... you only burn half as much fuel as they do... so don't complain.

Does the civic trunk mounted winch option affect gas mileage?

That's about it. I've burned up 30 gallons in 45 minutes. $150 an hour for oil and gas can get real expensive quick.

We've got a 96' XP and yes it is a pig on fuel but it really only ever sees a few trips per weekend and a little horsing around thrown in, we go through a tank a weekend and keep it at that so that it's affordable.

just a quick recap...
the 95 gtx is a 657 isn't it ?
to the OP.... this isn't a gas hog, this is a fairly efficient ski.... it only gets worse, your actually in pretty good shape there.
store less crap on the ski, lose weight, ride slower, buy a spare gas tank to keep at the ramp,
or
sell the ski and get a smaller, lighter hull like a sp or spi, or a gts... and you'll see about a 20% improvement
downside to sp and spi, 9 gallon tank,you'll use less per hour, but you'll have 3 gallons less to work with. the GTS will still get you a 12 gallon tank

I want a Tesla model X, then I could burn even more gas in my ski because the car wouldn't use any!
