I get 199 MPH TAS at 23/2500(75%) on 15 gph or 191 MPH TAS at
22/2300(65%) on 13 GPH.




199 - 191 .......... = 8 mph
15 - 13 .............. = 2 gallons
2 gal x 3.99 ...... = $8

65% to 75%..... = $1 per 1 mph :-)


So I'm gonna have to find a place that sells avgas around here for
$3.99? It's currently going for $2.75, I'll ask if they'll take $4 a
gallon.


Ouch! Last week I paid $4.60-something in Sacramento, CA.

.... I have fond memories of $2.75 ;-)
