What is your fuel consumption?

A good rule of thumb for estimating fuel burn is 1 gallon per hour for every 10 horsepower. Actual horsepower at cruising speed should be about 50 to 60% of maximum. Using those numbers you get a fuel consumption of 9 to 10 gph which sounds about right to me. Nasty. The 180 hp Cessna I fly burns 7.5 gallons per hour and cruises at 130 knots. -c |
