Rotax recommends, but I plan to use Mobil 1 or Amsoil synthetics in mine, mainly
for the sake of the turbo.

less than 10 liters per hour of fuel flow (in cold air). I could not think of
any reason why the engine would wear prematurely if run at such speeds (or does
idle kill engines ?). Every millimeter the throttle can be pulled back will
improve fuel flow. Only a tick more and she uses 14 liters with only a 2 knot
gain in speed.

With onboard fuel (and only a slight disregard of gross weight) the endurance
could be pushed to over 30 hours. Where would you rather be than in the air ?"
