I dunno, the efficiency improvements wouldn't be that hard. Those bizjets they're comparing with are usually low bypass turbines... real fuel suckers. A more aero design, travelling slower with a sailplane like wing at attitude and an efficient canard design with zero prop wash interference pusher design... I could see it doing MUCH MUCH better than one of those.
