They are OK engines. I would say that Yamaha engines are the best though.
Depends what aircraft it is fitted to. As a guide a Rotax 912S (100hp) consumes about 20% less. Here are the figures for both engines fitted to a Zodiac XL: Continental 0-200 6.3 USG/hr (24 litres/hr) Rotax 912S 4.9 USG/hr (19 litres/hr)
Well it subs to Rotax 256623. John Deere # is C420256623.
Yes, they are very reliable. The older rotary engines of the 80's did have some issues with burning oil and poor fuel economy but those issues have been fixed.
EXTREMELY. one of the better engines made

Yes, diesel engine will last much longer than gasoline engines. They are built much stronger but are also more expensive to build.
