I just realized that my Skylane gets about the same gas mileage as a
Hummer. I burn about 13gal per hour and go about 130 knots... 10nm per
gallon, or 11.5 miles per gallon. Now granted I am going in a
straight line, and 3 times as fast, but still that is awful mileage.
Now my old Cessna 140 did a lot better, 105mph at 5gph... more like
about 20 miles per gallon.

Can anyone boast better mileage?



Sure, my car gets much better mileage than your Hummer.

But it doesn't matter because no matter how hard I pull back on the
steering wheel, the damn thing stays on the ground!
