Hi Marek,

My 2003 Evektor Eurostar is fitted with an 80hp 912UL and at 90mph (4800rpm) it burns about 13 litres per hour. This is probably about 75% power.

Just a bit of useless info , if it,s a carby petrol engine a rough industry gauge is for every 100 hp used, you use 27 litres per hour to feed it . So that means at full power a 100 hp 912 uls you would use 27 per hour . So at 75 percent power should be around 20 litres per hour, in theory on paper . Often hard to gauge a true 75 percent power in cruise as you have a prop on it not a dyno .
