That is what I have found on my 225 OX66. If I cruise at 3500-4000 rpm, it isn't bad on gas at all. When you run wide open, it'll drink some gas. They are a reliable, strong running motor. If you do need parts or maintenance items, they are generally pretty easy to find.

I checked my fuel economy last fill up and found it to be just over 2 mpg overall.
