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.

It's down here, too, but I'm anticipating. What's car gas been doing
up your way? Here, it's up 30 cents from its late-October nadir and
no expectation of a plateau.

Gas is slightly higher now than its low point last fall. It is
currently falling and today it's at $2.11. Go to
www.montanagasprices.com to see the price. Substitute any state for
montana to see that area. Many areas are well below $2 now.

Station by station; plug in your own zipcode

We're higher due to being in the midst of ski resorts.
