Has anyone had experience with Arneson drives? Do they live up to their billing of being more efficient?

The following is not an apples to apples to comparison but I was expecting much better efficiency from Arnesons. Numbers are from magazine testing so the conditions weren't identical either. Is it the engine horsepower that is determining the consumption?

Pershing 62
LOA: 63'10"
Weight: 65.6K lbs
Motors: 2 x 1500hp
Speed / MPG: 27 mph w/ 0.31 mpg

Fairline Targa 62
LOA: 61'11"
Weight: 51.9 lbs
Motors: 2 x 1015hp
Speed / MPG: 29 mph w/ 0.52 mpg

Thanks.
