It still seems like 235hp is overkill for the PA28 airframe. What sort
of TAS and fuel burn do you get in yours, Jay?

I fly an Archer and a Dakota of similar vintage (1980/1979). The
Archer is 127 KTAS on 9.5 gph. The Dakota is 147 KTAS on about 13 gph.
The Dakota fuel burn is +/- 1 gph - I haven't spent much time in it
recently.
