Awesome!

Modern, fuel-injected motors seem to be efficient across the full RPM range, far more so than older carbed motors. That means for the newer motors, your mileage will be a function of how fast you are going, not the size of the motor. Obviously, the 90HO will go faster than the 90, so the HO will use more fuel at WOT. Hopefully that's not surprising, as it takes more energy to go faster.
