Those figures look very impressive.
We've done the calcs on our winch.
We're almost line-ball on 1 litre or 100LL per launch, including driving
time
spent resetting the cables after every second launch.
Launches are 1200' to 1600', depending on headwind.
Even if you allow two launches for an unskilled pilot to find a
thermal after release, we're still using less than half the fuel
of an aerotow.
