Yes, you should get 5 gallons on a good quality engine thats broken in properly, and 10 gallons isnt impossible for super-high end engines.

Uh oh........ its the fuel thing again.
5 to 10 gallons on todays engines with good fuel is not out of the question. I have over 6 gallons on a cheap Mach.15 and she still screams.
Just run a good fuel that has a decent amount of oil and it will last quite a while. I recommend 14% oil or more. I run 17 to 20% oil in my engines.
