Note: when I posted the version of this same info for either the 2005
or 2006 models several people who don't own any of these engines (and
had no actual technical frame of reference of any sort) all chimed in
to claim I was full of schlitz.

Not me, those numbers are very closely aligned with the prevailing
rules of thumb: 1 gph for every 10 hp gas, and 1 gph for every 20 hp
diesel. This assumes that rated hp is developed at WOT, and cruising
hp is related to the square of RPMs, e.g., 70 % of WOT = 49% of peak
hp.

It is important to note that your numbers are "per engine".
