Push everything forward and we see 175 knots true at around 6000 ft and fuel burns of 27 gallons per hour. Surprisingly close to book numbers for a 38 year old airplane. So, at the high end of the power/fuel consumption curve you are gaining 20 kts TAS for only 3 gph? That's incredible! In my relatively efficient Arrow I gain only about 6 kts TAS for about 2 GPH going from 65% to 75% power. How do you do it? -- -Elliott Drucker 27GPH-20GPH=7GPH Huh!?! Are my eyes funny, or doesn't his original post reference *24* GPH at 155 kts vs. 27 GPH at 175 kts? inquiring minds... Scott Skylane
