What can go that fast (J) on that fuel burn and have ample used

A bonanza? Not for 100k.


A Bonanza? Yes. I bought one. My S35, which is the fastest model, cost
me $88K this past August. At 75% I indicate 165 Kts and usually true at
172-175 kts. That costs 15 gph. 165 kts true costs 13 gph. 155 kts true
costs 11 gph. Want to bust your buddy's in the 182's chops? 19" and 2100
gets me 135 kts IAS on 9 gph.



How are you leaning?


The numbers I listed are right out of the book. I have been
experimenting with lean of peak and at the 19"/2100 setting I can get to
8 gph without any roughness and I don't have GAMI's.
