Sorry Art, but I disagree.
Returning from Danbury Ct to Islip NY, 3500' -2C full throttle 16.6 GPH
TAS +161KT
This is only the second time I've done this as Avgas is too expensive just to
save a few minutes.
YOU can fly @ 130KT & 9 GPH - I can do that at less than 9gph.
It's not that the Cirrus is slow, it's that you choose to fly it slowly. Not
all of the SR20 s will do the 160 kts, but most of them will be above 155KTs
unless the pilot CHOOSES to fly slower, or lean of peak, to achieve the lesser
fuel burn
