What is the lightest white gas stove?

I have done some looking and want to be sure I find the lightest. I would like to find the lightest weight white gas stove on the market. Does anyone know what that might be? I can only seem to find that it used to be the MSR Simmerlite.

Any help is appreciated.

MSR Whisperlite is really light they have updated it and it is similar to the simmerlight now.

PRIMUS OMNILITE TI STOVE

What about fuel consumption? A less efficient stove will burn more fuel = more total weight.

The Whisperlite is SUPER EFFICIENT.

This is true, and bringing less fuel means you can bring a smaller fuel bottle, or fewer fuel bottles on a longer trip, further reducing your pack weight. If your cooking consists of anything more than bringing water to a boil rapidly (like simmering or reheating food), then something with temperature/flame control, like the Omnilite or the MSR Dragonfly, will save even more fuel because you can reduce the fuel flow while the food is simmering. My own experience is that the flame control on the Dragonfly makes priming it, or restarting while it's still warm, easier and faster than the Whisperlite. I'm sure the Whisperlite is efficient, but the burner design on the Dragonfly, MSR XGK-EX or Primus Omnilite will warm up faster and with less fuel (less metal to heat up) than the Whisperlite.

Sadly it's not that efficient. The Dragonfly and similar type stoves are way more efficient. That's at full blast once you add the fact that they simmer it makes them even more fuel stingy.

Maybe it's just mine or something. If they can make a stove more efficient than the one I have, I would be impressed. Mine barely uses any (white) gas. Maybe it's just what I cook or what I eat, but I use maybe half of a big MSR bottle full of gas every summer and I use it almost every weekend.

My Dragonfly seems to burn about 60% - 70% as much fuel as my Whisperlite, using the same utensils, wind protection and cooking style. That's being pretty careful with wind protection and cooking foods that don't require a lot of cooking. So by the 2nd round of dinner and breakfast (maybe sooner), I've saved enough in fuel to negate the weight advantage of a Whisperlite over a Dragonfly,

The MSR Simmerlite, I have three white gas stoves it is/was the lightest. I have no use for it anymore though as I use canisters in the summer, so I'm selling it ?Here?

MSR WhisperLite Stove is an excellent choice.
It's weight-efficient and burns widely available.

I have found exactly this to be true.
It's not like the Whisperlite is a gluttonous pig, it's not at all, but the Dragonfly does burn less fuel.

Just wanted to say thanks for the comments people had about the Dragonfly, I just got a used one, nice to know where it fits into the fuel efficiency spectrum.
