Mike B:
Normal fuel burn with a 912uls and a mkIIIx is 5 gph at 5000 rpm. That is under cross country conditions.
Diddling around the patch one can cut fuel burn in half.

Hi John,
When I am alone, the Kolb climbs like a Rocket  My time in climb with the engine at full throttle is very very short. Once at altitude, and on a cross country, I cruise at 4200 - 4300 RPM which gives me 3.5 GPH burn at 70 MPH, more or less. I have my prop pitched for cruise with 5200 RPM at full power climb at 60 MPH. I don't have a fuel flow Gage, but a two hour cross country when I am alone takes just under 7 gallons to fill it back up.
Mike

Thanks for the photos. I kept waiting for a good frost to bring out the
color and now I'm afraid it is past the peak here in central Michigan. Also
having no enclosure makes for much better photos. The subject says South
Florida but that can't be Florida????
