In you statement you claim the rotary engine is equivalent to the piston....

I have no more to say.

The high fuel consumption doesn't really need any explanation, it is just the nature of that type of engine. Rotary engines have never been considered fuel efficient. Also I don't remember ever saying a rotary was like a piston engine, just highliging the differences between the two.
