That's one great thing about owning. Lots of time to fool with mixture and
MP and prop settings. I save about 2 - 3 GPH over common "squared" power
and ROP settings. Also, when you fly a rented plane slower, and more
efficiently, you are penalized. The same style in your own plane costs less
while maximizing your PIC time. Dunno about the CO being a major issue
though.

I'm not sure that MP has much measurable affect on glide, but playing with
the prop control sure does.
