All good stuff but I gotta do as the owner wants. He'd rather spend
money for gas than "burn the engine up". I've tried to convince him
otherwise but, to keep the peace, I fly it like he wants it.

BTW, we get 100 degree days here at 6,200' though not as often as you do.

The C-182RG I fly is not fuel injected and no good engine temp gauge. So that's what I do for cruise, lean until it stumbles then one rotation rich. Vernier mixture control. Learned that when I first learned to fly in C-150s. Same technique still works.
