Not at all common in the 182, Mike. 46 pounds of fuel? 8 gallons for taxi? I
think not.

shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:

-Very common. It is assumed that fuel will be burned off starting and
-taxiing. My airplane has a max ramp weight of 11,625lb and a max TO weight
-of 11,575lb.

-
- -Ramp weight is 4 lbs over max gross.
- -I will be 50 lbs over max takeoff weight.

Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa!
Max Weight RAMP = 3110 lbs
Max Weight TAKEOFF = 3100 lbs
Max Weight LANDING = 2950 lbs
I mixed the titles and numbers when I glanced at it.
I still was concerned about turbulence at a higher actual takeoff
weight. That 4 lbs was more like 60. Takeoff accelleration was slow, but
it still popped off the runway at 60 kts with 10? flaps.
Fortunately, the first 1.5 hr of flight was smooth. The second 1.5 was
moderate turbulence. Sufficient to cause my spouse to toss her lunch
southwest of Milwaukee. The kids in back said we landed just in time.

That makes absolutely no sense. If the ramp weight is a particular number, how
can the max takeoff weight be less? Do you plan on doing a midair refueling to
get up to max gross after departure?

Many of the Cessna's give you some extra for taxiing out and doing the runup.
The 152 for example, says you can go 5 lbs over the gross weight for taxi.
