My fuel flow, at 65% power, for my 200 HP T-Arrow is about 12 gph , but at 65%
power I cruise at 150 KTAS (or better - I plan for 150 tho) and can fly non-stop for 700 NM - But this is also flying at 8000-13000 ft.

Or conversely, it seems likely that the 9 gph isn't 75% cruise. If I bought an SR-20 and it only gave me 130 kts at best cruise performance, I'd demand my money back! Art didn't say 130 knots was his "best cruise performance". He said that's what he gets at 9 gph. I assume he used that figure because that's close to the fuel flow in a Cessna at normal cruise settings (with a 160 hp engine), and so gives a rough apples-to-apples comparison between the airplanes.
