Top Speed: 45 knot
Cruising Speed: 40 knot

Consumption by Full load WOT: 13 gallons (US) / hour 0.29 gallons (US) / nautical miles

Consumption by Cruise: 7.9 gallons (US)
0.2 gallons (US) / nautical miles

They don't know how to do math on that engine.
WOT of 45 knots burning 13 gph is about 3.9 miles/gallon, not .29 and cruise is 5.8 miles/gallon. The range is off a tad, but at least it's close.
