The operators manual suggests premium auto gas, which is what I have used almost exclusively. Prior to my recent annual inspection I was burning on average two gallons of fuel per hour. During the annual I had the carbs rebuilt and did the ROTAX 5 year rubber replacement. Now I am averaging 1.775 gallons of fuel per hour. Am I extremely fortunate or is this normal for the little bird?

I am in North Carolina and have an Allegro 2000 ELS (N661WW) with almost 800 hours on my Rotax 912 UL 80 HP engine. I built the airplane from the Kit ten years ago. I have been the sole owner and I keep my carbs pneumatically balanced. The best average fuel consumption I have ever gotten was 3.0 gph. At the present my fuel consumption is averaging 3.6 gph. I burn exclusively ethanol free auto fuel (MOGAS) either 90 octane or 87 octane. Where are you located Scott? Hugh G. McKay III, P.E. Fellow, L.M.
