Whats the deal with gas mileage and oil consumption in the new motors? Much improvement over the 800 zuki?

My buddies 800 summit barely uses any oil and gas milage is noticeably better than mine. It something I was looking forward to with the new 800 Ctech.

Seems to be a decent improvement in gas mileage, huge in oil mileage. It seems like I'm right between an 850 and axys on fuel. But the 850 guys are scared to ride their sleds, and mine doesn't shut off.

Rode 2.5-3 feet deep untracked powder in BC with my Early Release 162 for 4 days straight and after break-in was over I averaged roughly .5-1 MPG better than my buddy who was riding a 2016 Limited 153 and my other buddy was riding a 2016 Etec 800 and he got about 1-1.5 MPG better than I did. I feel the fuel consumption is very similar when you are heavy on the throttle in comparison between all motors and brands. The oil consumption decreased heavily once I completed break-in, I would estimate I used about .5 liter or less in 70 miles of riding once break in was done. Used over 1.5 liters in 70 miles during break-in period the first day we were out there.
