Thanks Alan Those figures look very impressive.
We didn't measure fuel usage when we did the pulley launches, however I would be surprised if the fuel usage is more than a couple of litres per launch. Having said that, the jet engine concept looks very exciting, and aerotow is also a great way to launch.
