Ask them what the useful load is on that 182S.

1140 lbs.

1140 lbs with the G1000 system?

Our new G1000 182 has
much less useful load than my 76 Mooney,

Eh? A quick web search tells me Mooneys of that vintage have less. What is
your Mooney's useful load?

My Mooney useful load is 1006 lbs. Our 182T's useful load is 900 lbs.
In addition the 182T requires almost 40% more fuel for the same
airtime but probably more like 50% more fuel for the same distance
covered (because the 182T is slower than the Mooney).
