Default GOO to OSH on gasahol

So get a more efficient plane. It would take me 9 hours and 121
gallons, including the stop at IOW. So at $4 a gallon that's about $960
for gas. And that's at 75%. If you're goal is to save money you could
easily shave 20-30 gallons off that total.

100 knots in a 182? Are you flying or taxiing?



In a 1958 boxcar 182, to get fuel burn down to 10 gph if you flight plan for
anything more than 100 knots (from engine start to shutdown) INCLUDING
taxiing, climbing, descending, pattern, taxiing, you are deluding yourself.

If OSH isn't worth the flying, a hundred dollar hamburger isn't either.
