I'm not being sarcastic or a smartarse at all when I ask how one is getting a 4-gph fuel burn on a 152. The one I just did my training in would burn 5.3-5.6 if I leaned it out and ran it around 2400-2450 rpm at 3,000msl if I was careful.
Last time I flew it, I was burning about 6.0-6.1 and trying to figure out why....
