Yeah, I was happy with the numbers.

Actually, depending how you look at them the thing that no one would have really thought is that there is more of a difference between the gear drive and the hydros than there is between the gas and diesel! At 100% it is only about 1.2 gph more on the gas and diesel but at 50% the Hydro uses 1.5 gph more than the gear drive for both Gas and Diesel.

Pretty interesting. Pretty much the numbers really back up all those who have posted how much of a gas hog the Gas Hydro is.
