Is that 13 gph based on tach or hobbs?

Can someone tell me what the fuel burn numbers are on a typical older

Thanks, RT



The 182 (1963 C model I think) in the Bay Area Aero Club bills its
members at a wet rate based on a 13 Gpm fuel burn. This burn rate is
based on actual usage and is surveryed quarterly. I cant account for how
much of this is training (and richer mixtures) versus XC (and hopefully
leaner mixtures). The aircraft has been in the club for about 2 years,
and newsletters may show some variation in the fuel burn.
