my little aeroplane gets the same consumption as a vw beetle.

I used to think this poor until I spoke to the neighbour at the time. he had a racing car that could reach the same speed as my aeroplane.
I asked him the fuel consumption.
200 litres for 8 laps (of the wanneroo race track)

my aeroplane is saintly compared to that.
