Powered ultralight engines vary depending on their application, the most efficient engines burn less than 1 gallon per hour.
Pilots use gallons per hour instead of miles per gallon when dealing with the fuel burn rate of aircraft engines. One good example for the reason for this, would be a helicopter hovering, it can hover over the same spot for hours and never move a mile. The engine of the helicopter is still burning fuel.
The Federal Aviation Administration has placed several restrictions on ultralights. One of those restrictions is that it must have a fuel capacity that does not exceed 5 gallons of fuel. This restriction limits the size of the engines used on powered ultralights and their range.
