Have a look at this
http://www.red-aircraft.com/projects/flight-tests/
And these specs:
http://www.red-aircraft.com/engines/red-a03-v12/
Best efficiency is about 0.344 lbs/hp hour at 400 hp.
A quick set of calculations show that 400 HP would burn about 21 gph of jet fuel and yield about 322 knots compared to TSIO 550 at 75% that started at 280 knots.
Ready to flip out your checkbook??

With this kind of engine in the pipeline,

240HP turbines sucking 28-32 gph are going to have a marketing problem.
