Especially in the winter going eastbound I fly high (FL190) to catch
the tailwinds. There I get 160 KTS TAS. Normally, I will achieve at
least 200 KTS GS, often 220 KTS or so.

I once got 185 KTS GS going from Houston to Mobile in a 172RG at 11,000 ft.
If I'd been able to go to FL190 it would have been 50 KTS more, IIRC.

But the biggest benefit of a turbo to me would be getting above the towering
CUs down here in the summertime.
