Your Parker gets better fuel economy at 25-30 mph than on plane at 16-17?



Very unusual, indeed. I'll have to see if there are some test results that show
others have had a similar experience in the same boat. Could it be that trim or
something is unnaturally and seriously *reducing* your Parkers nmpg at the
slower velocity?


I'll take some notes, but, yes, I'm pretty sure I'm getting more mpgs at
the higher rpms.

My car has a fuel flow gauge, too. I get better mpgs at 60 than at
50...according to the gauge.

them, who is arrogant about his ignorance, who is reckless and
incompetent, and whose backers are turning the United States into a pariah.

What, me worry?
