The deisel conversion burns just under 5 US gals p/h compared to just over 8 US gal p/h for the standard avgas at the same IAS. I make that around 40% less fuel flow

With the avgas engine running with the red lever all the way to the stop, the above is about right. Then, about 30% of the avgas goes straight out of the exhaust, unburnt.
