It is all about brand, model production serie and how you are using it. In the offroad people are getting 10 gallons and still going strong, in the onroad 1 gallon can happen and 4-5 gallon is possible. Cheaper engines do not have stronger materials....

You can lengthen the live a lot with pre-heating the engine and change the rod and check the bearings on time.
