For further comparison the non-turbo Cirrus will do 17.5gph @ ISA @

burn 17.4gph @ ISA @ 8000ft for a TAS of 191KTS.



And the Bonanza guys who put normally aspirated 550's in their planes get
190-195 kts true at 8000 at about 16 gph.


But they are not dragging their wheels out in the slipstream.

Good lord, no. Not on purpose.
