    That was the Gimli Glider -- yes it was a metric conversion mishap

    Hi Dave,

    sry I had the last 20 hrs not more than 14L per hour.
    I have a greyhead, but I think its not important for the rate of consumption!?

    you must be running at lower rpms ? like under 5400 rpm.

    If wide open they suck 29 litre per hour at 100% power you must be flying in a low power range to use half the fuel.
    Fuel cools your piston.
