I have a Turbo Arrow III, its a 200 HP, fuel injected and GamiJectors
I usually try to fly at 12 gph unless I am needing to stretch it, I also fly
around 11,000-12000 ft and at 65% power (30' MP and 2400 RPM).

Jeff,

What are you flying? How many degrees rich of peak do you fly? 150 TAS on 11
gph is pretty good performance.

This is just a question, but is gas prices there that big a difference

where you
can save 100$ by going to smaller airports?

Personally, in my plane, I have 72 gallons of fuel, flight plan 150 TAS,

usually
fly 5 hours, that gives me about 1.5 hours left. But I also have a fuel

flow
instrument that shows me my endurance and GPH. I make the least number of

stops I
can. Flew a 1445 NM trip, one way, on july 4th, stopped 3 times, longest

leg was
680 nm.
