I think that Yeller hit the nail on the head regarding the on board kit. It doesn't really matter what propels you if your kit isn't good enough to do the job.

The MRA4 will burn more fuel than the MR2; that's because it will carry shedsload more! How much more/less quickly it will burn it, I'm not sure.
