Nope. 10 & 11 gallons of fuel on one piston&cylinder is very good. You take very good care of your engines. Depending on the brand/ manufacturer, they start to go south any where from 4-8 gallons, depending on how you treat them. So keep up your outstanding engine upkeep! AND HAVE FUN!

Not bad!!! 10-11 gallons.. You tuning is going well. 7-8 gallons usually the time line of rebiulding w/ piston and sleeve.

21 gallons in a year? You have too much free time!

most i went threw was 1 1/2 gallons in one day.and all my time is from the love of running the buggy.i go to school then work 4-9 then run it almost everyday after i get off cause i gt a church less than a mile from my house.and just whenever i get a chance.
