I get 150knots at 10.5 gph,

Hmmpf. Gotta get me one of those Comanches. The Lance I fly burns 16gph
at that speed and I'm carrying two extra empty seats... Is that a
PA-24-180?

According to Clarke's book, the PA-24-180 cruises at ~130 knots. The 250 hp
version cruises at ~157 knots. That plane has an O-540 in it. There's also a 260
hp model that gets a couple knots more out of an O-540. Post-1966 models are
fuel injected.

Drink is the curse of the land. It makes you quarrel with your neighbor.
It makes you shoot at your landlord. And it makes you miss him.

Mine's the 250. I lean it pretty aggressively, and cruise high. Of course,
I'm based at 5300 feet.
