Depends entirely on how hard you run the engine. I prefer 20" and 2300 RPM
(makes for a very smooth ride) and get just under 11 gph by the clock.

shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:

-Can someone tell me what the fuel burn numbers are on a typical older c182
-with the Continental 230hp carbed engine. I am trying to do a comparison
-with a Cherokee 6/300 and can't find numbers for the C182.
-Thanks, RT
