The current-generation ATG-1500 gas turbine requires about 10 gallons of fuel to make a cold start (i.e. start from a complete cold state).

Work on a replacement LV100-5 turbine has been fitful, with halts in funding and restarts in the program slowing its progress. The earliest that it will possibly be fitted to the M1 series would be 2014. The LV100-5 uses between one third and one half the gas that the ATG-1500 requires.
