My 1.9L VW TDI ran just a shade over a liter per hour according to VAG-COM (software that would interface with car like dealers) and I doubt the 61X will at max burn 1.5 to 1.75 liters per hour. My Dodge 2.7L I was told would use 1.5 to 2 gallons per hour depending if measurement was taken on cold or warm start engine, but I'm not sure how accurate that statement was by the Dodge engineering rep. I was told by a diesel tech friend that if gas & diesel engines of same size were compared the gas engine would use about 3 or 4 time the fuel while at idle as the diesel.
