Transportation for family of four. Mostly VFR but some IFR. Rarely
more than 1000 miles one-way. Southwest USA.


Easy choice

C182 or C182T


God, why? Unless he's also hauling granite why would me want to burn
that much fuel to go slow? Sure, an 18 wheeler can haul everything you
need but not everyone needs to haul that much. As you putt around at
130 knots in the C-182 some guy is going to zip by you on the same
fuel doing 200 knots in a Mooney.
