Rob 5/07/2004 9:21:31 pm Can someone tell me what the fuel burn numbers are on a typical older c182 with the Continental 230hp carbed engine. I am trying to do a comparison with a Cherokee 6/300 and can't find numbers for the C182. Thanks, RT My 182R (230Hp/O-470-U, factory reman) burns 53 litres/hr (~14.0 US gal/hr) at 23/2350 at 3500'. Down to 48 l/hr (12.68 US gal/hr) at 21/2200. Consistently. Measured by a very accurate JPI fuel flow meter. Top-up is within 1 or 2 litres of JPI reading, out of 250/260 litres. Everyone tells me it should be lower..... It is at 6500', with settings 20/2350 (WOFO) ~ 48l/hr.
