What would your typical mission profile be? People, range, etc? I presume mostly going to Sicily and then up north?
As someone wrote before the Rotax 912 burns about 14 lt/hr for the 80 hp version, IIRC the 100 hp version burns about 18-19 lt/hr. An O-235 burns around 22-25 lt/hr.
PS: I would not get a 4 seater with a 100 hp engine, Rotax Lyco or else. Not enough power for my taste.
