Not miles per gallon, gallons per mile. I've been told by a Cent owner that 4 Gallons to the mile is typical, ie one Jerry Can for 1.5Km, and that's premium petrol. A 205L drum (aka 44Gal or 55 US Gal) of AVGAS is the price for a 15Km burst around the paddocks. I can't complain about the CMP, positively frugal in comparison.
