All these planes with the big engines -- you ARE figuring on 13 - 14
gph fuel consumption, aren't you?


I suppose it's possible to run 14 GPH down at sea level if you leave the
mixture full in. I burn 8 gph in my 520 in the Bo farting around the
local area at 155-160 mph indicated. Don't look at big engine/small
engine, look at miles per gallon.



Filling 80-gallon tanks with
$4.00/gallon fuel?

$2.90 around here and falling.
