I was wondering if there are any stats about fuel consumption of the various planes? For instance howmuch distance you can cover with 100% fuel full throttle, or howmuch flighttime you get with say 25% fuel full throttle ?
And does flying at low/high altitudes or using WEP affect fuel consumption?
thx

Depends on the plane and/or whether you took drop tanks or not.
I dont know much about fuel loads but i know the american planes tend to have larger fuel tanks and the rest are smaller, although the N1K2 seems to be good on fuel as well.
The P51 with 2 drop tanks and 100% mains can stay in the air for around 1 1/4 hours at max throttle and RPM (no wep).
The P47 can take 3 drop tanks so thats alot of fuel.
You can reduce you fuel consumption considerably by reducing throttle and RPM settings. You dont need much to keep a cruise speed of around 220 (and ya can travel for miles).
Spat.

I have never really tested how far every plane flies, and don't know if anyone has?
Does someone know the fuel usage multiplier in Main Arena? I think I heard it was 2 or 2.5, so that at least gives you a hint (if you know the real plane's flight endurance)
