Gas Efficiency of KSC G19...

Question about this popular gun. First of all what is the usual refill interval for this GBB to begin with? I think mine is being quite gas guzziling on propane, as so far I have not been able to make it last much longer than 1 mag. When I talk to the ASCA guys about it when I went to their store the other day they mentioned something about a valve might have snapped inside, so I checked it out and didn't find anything out of ordinary when I took it apart. On my example that I purchased from one of the member here it is using metal slide and barrel plus uprated recoil spring. Would that have an effect on the consumption of the gas too? Also, without knowing the particular history of the gun(I am guessing other than the metal slide and spring that other parts should be stock), what fps is this gun operating at? Ones I've read online talked about it being able to do the coke can test with punchering one side while leaving a dent in the other side, but not existing(I think this is on Redwolf's review using green gas). On my example with propane it'll effortlessly go through both side of the can and crack the center region of the bottom side. Would this be considered abnormal and partially causing the gas consumption issue?

Thanks for any info you may provide.
