Some real word numbers - If you ever wondered what the hype about "Direct Injection" is all about, take a look at the TOTAL fuel usage for the entire flight

Alissa,
Attached is the flight data, in spread sheet form to share with Jan, which I mentioned to you yesterday for our Zenith STOL CH750.

Conditions were good for the test and after running the groundspeed check, I landed and loaded the aircraft to gross weight (1440 lbs.) and did my first takeoff at this weight. Ground run was just a few seconds longer but when it came off the ground, I could feel the power and acceleration pick up as I began to climb out.

Solo and with full fuel, I am typically off the ground in 6 to 8 seconds. At gross it was around the 10 to 12 second time frame. Still damn quick.
I flew a total of 2.3 hours yesterday and burned 5.56 gallons for an average fuel burn of 2.3 GPH. True a lot of the time aloft was at reduced power settings but still impressive numbers for such a draggy little airplane.
