Help me to understand this. Left with fuel to the tabs. Went from kewn to w95. Ran at 2350 rpm. Not fast, I know. Put 1.9 hours on the Hobbs. Fueled back up to the tabs, and it only took 10.0 gallons. This works out to about 5.3 gal/hr.!?. How can this be? What am missing C150's burn more than this. I am not complaining but I do not understand. I figured that I should have burned around 14 gallons.
