In my Turbo Arrow III, I get 150-155 KTAS at 12 gph, on a 200 HP engine.
This is at 65% power setting above 8000 ft
I can fly non-stop 700 NM and still have IFR reserves left.
I can go leaner, I just like running ROP

So 30 kts less, with an engine that has 110 less HP and 5 gph less isnt bad at
all.

If the SR22 had its design with retract gear, it would be much faster. The
comanche 400 will do 190 kts, carry ALOT more then the SR22 and is about
200,000$ less then the SR22

181-184KTAS on 18gph running ROP. AND my wife will now fly with me so
that's another big plus.
