Lightbulb Efficiency RV vs. Vari-eze

I was talking with Klaus the other day at Lightspeedengineering concerning the use of a different plug and he pointed me to an article he recently wrote.

http://www.lightspeedengineering.com/News/News.htm

I thought you all would be very interested in reading it. In summary, Klaus flew his Vari-eze coast to coast on 25.8 gallons and averaged nearly 80 mpg. His fuel burn was down to 2.87 gph. The best I have achieved in my RV-10 has been 17.5 mpg but that was at 9000 ft. I need to climb up to 17,500 and see what I can get.

I remember reading about Dan's RV-7 getting around 32 mpg.

Anyway, just thought you high efficiency guys have something to shoot for now.
