 Sure do.  At take off power, full rich, we're burning 25 gph.  At cruise we 
 tend to run 23 squared, leaned back to 15 gph.   At this setting we'll see 
 EGTs in the 1350 - 1450 degree range, and CHTs in the 300 - 325 degree 
 range.

Jay, 
 
Huh???  On my 230 hp O-470, I cruise at 23-squared, without any fancy 
engine monitors. Using the "pull-until-it-feels-about-right" method of 
leaning, I get 12 gph.  Religeously.  You can set your watch by that 
figure.  I wonder if using mogas is somehow requiring you to run 25% 
richer than avgas?  If so, what are your corrected savings per hour? 
 
On a side note, as I asked you earlier, what part # spark plugs are you 
running?  I am curious due to your undue propensity to fouling while 
running avgas. 
 
Happy Flying!
