Press one wrong button and the calculator will
tell you that you have 143,226.21079 gallons left in your 152. I'm
amazed at how many people would just put that down as the answer these
days, because the calculator said so.


Nice long-range tanks you've there.



I hope the calculator person noticed that big number and figured "something"
wasn't right.

143,226.21079 is probably pounds, not gallons. Divide by 6 for gallons
(23,871) ...which is almost 1 gallon per mile at the equator :-)

Next: Weight & balance.
