when you say 20 in hg, do you mean "20 inches of vacuum in reference to ambient?"
If so, wouldn't the final pressure be more like 5 psi absolute, therebye doubling the horsepower number?????
1 horsepower is something like .1 gallons per hour, which is something like 10 percent fuel economy. I think.

Yea I think 20 inch vacuum is typical, that's what I found when I tried to look it up. And engines of that size usually idle at .3gph if I'm not mistaken.
