As a comparison to cars - I was cruising about 33mpg at 126mph in a Pipistrel Alpha including fuel used taking takeoff, warmup, taxi, pattern, and landing. Unsure of the 70mph miles per gallon because I was paying by the hour for time the engine is running(hour meter connected to the oil pressure switch), so you fly as fast as you can and this particular plane isn't equipped with a gallons per hour fuel flow indication, I had to check fill up to fill up.
