In reality, what do you guys see as typical cruise speeds for the
172R
(1997 standard equip)?

What about the R182 Skylane RG (1978 vintage, constant speed prop)?


I ask cause it never seems to me to be what is in the AIM or POH (I
got seriously *limited* experience on this)

(I screwed up and posted this over on homebuilts first. Rip me a new
one if you have to on that.)
