Ouch.

Jay, I thought book cruise fuel burn for a 235 was about 12 GPH. Why
are you burning 15? Book for my Six is 14 GPH, and I would be getting
that if I wasn't fighting the front two cylinders running so lean with
WOT. Sounds to me like a move up to a Six wouldn't be as painful as you
made it out to be the other day. So are we going to see you show up at
OSH in a six this year then?



Running 15 gph for a 235 hp engine is a colossal waste of gas at cruise
speed. My 285 hp engine(IO-520) gets 75% at 14 gph.
