...the WR3350 engines in the USN P2V Neptune named "Truckulent Turtle" were also VERY efficient: 34%...ie: SPFC of 0.38 lb/hp/hr!
...and, when turbo-compounded, that went down to SPFC of 0.325 lb/hp/hr at 60% HP and 30,000' altitude!
...in our 'Connies, that was ~100 gallons per hour, per engine, at maxium 'cruise (180 knot) airspeed and 10,000' altitude.
