Default Hummer vs Skylane

I just realized that my Skylane gets about the same gas mileage as a Hummer.
I burn about 13gal per hour and go about 130 knots... 10nm per gallon, or
11.5 miles per gallon. Now granted I am going in a straight line, and 3
times as fast, but still that is awful mileage. Now my old Cessna 140 did
a lot better, 105mph at 5gph... more like about 20 miles per gallon.

Can anyone boast better mileage?
