I think that's the reason they limited it to 41 gal. At the claimed 145 knots,
you can go 435 nm with a 1-hour reserve. In my Cherokee 180, at 118 knots,
you can go 4 hours or 472 nm with a 1-hour reserve. Granted, it takes one
more hour in the Cherokee. If the Diamond had 80 gal of fuel capacity, or
even 60 gal, it would really be something nice.
