The bad news is that we were burning
15.5 GPH to get that speed.

Why the high fuel flow? My 285hp IO-520 book fuel flow is 15.2 at 75%.

That's not much difference.


It is if the new 182s still have only 235 HP.


Oh. Duh.

I don't know why the high flow. Maybe I looked before we leaned it?



IIRC it should be about 13 gph.
