"any type"?

Cessna 152 or other 2-seater (Skipper, Traumahawk) with 100-115hp engine - about 16Kg(6 gals.) ph

4-seat/4cyl basic flyabout (Piper Warrior/C172) - 150hp - about 22Kg(8 gals). ph

6-cylinder Saratoga or similar - about 30Kg(11 gals.) ph

In small planes we tend to measure fuel in gallons, but I add Kg conversions for consistency.

The medium-heavy iron burn up the equivalent of 3 small planes per hour (not 3 times the fuel - three complete airplanes fully loaded!)
