Wow, that was really something. The tats and the eye glitter, and they didn't even bother to wipe the bugs off the windscreen!
And yes, my O300-D is smooth, but the oil runs hot and she does seem to have an affinity for cylinders, which are the same as for the O200. I think the older straight tails ran a different model of O300 engine, C maybe. I generally see fuel burn in the 7.5 GPH range up to 8 or 8.5 if packing cargo.
