Same thing again. The Me-109 isn't using an HP (High-Performance) engine. It's using the second engine from the top, not the fourth. A lot of WW2 aircraft didn't run on aviation grade fuel, surprisingly enough. The Mustang, the Corsair, and the Catalina are the only aircraft in the core book that use HP engines.

The base weight is 3890lbs and cost is $1,556, which becomes a much more reasonable 1,556lbs and $7,780.
