Gasoline engines usually come in at right about 0.48 pounds/horsepower*hour in British units. A very good gasoline engine or a basic diesel will dip down to 0.42 lb/hp*hr. Large diesels used in power generation or ocean going power plants can dip down to 0.28 lb/hp*hr.
Your simulated engine is below that at just below 0.25, but it may be an issue of unit measurements. I just wanted to clarify.
