Default Real World fuel burn for the Ram 500

Tony's taxi and flight times indicate to me that the way Tony is operating his Ram 500 he is burning very close to 9 oz a minute.
I do know, cause I measured them the Bob Cats main tanks will hold 39 oz of fuel each. That's 78 oz divided by let's be conservative and calculate 8 minutes of throttled up flight time that equals = 9.75 oz per minute. Tony figures his total run times at about 11 minutes including taxi etc. It looks like to me the Ram 500 @ full throttle burns about 9 oz a minute minimum!
