Our club is getting ready to purchase another airplane. To keep

(hoping for 150kts or better), it seems we're limited to 182's, Cirrus,
and Columbia. The last 2 probably blow the insurance budget and
insurance would also probably require a lot of instructor time for club
members... Suggestions?


Grumman Tiger. 140+ kts with lower fuel burn than the 182.

I agree, though I'm biased as I own a Tiger.

For a 150 nm trip, the difference between 150 kts and 140 kts is 4 minutes.
