Poor?
It has the same engine as a 172 SP or an Archer, but it gets an extra 20 knots. I suppose you could slow it down to Archer speeds and get more range. They do have a diesel version in Europe, it gets about the same cruise on 5.5 gph. Its easier for a new design to do better with a new engine design. "Dan Luke" wrote in message ...

This airplane would not meet my regular travel needs, i.e. IFR trips between Mobile and Houston. On most trips, at least west bound, I'd need to make a fuel stop. -- Dan C172RG at BFM
