The specs for the Honda states 4 hours runtime at rated load (1600 watts), which is a lot longer than the 2.5 hours for the Champion, yes, the Honda tank is 1.1 gal, still way better numbers.
I'm inclined to think the published fuel usage times are skewed. Honda owners will need to verify or refute the ratings.
My Kipor KGE2000Ti
will not run anything like 4 hours at 1600 watts. It has the same size engine and design as the Honda and the same size fuel tank.
As I pointed out earlier both are non-computer controlled, carburetor-ed, 2 valve, OHV, spark ignition engines. Without fuel injection, variable timing, oxygen sensors, computer management and possibly variable cam timing there is no way that fuel economy could be as diverse as published.
