Short weekend jaunt from LA to Vegas and back: 2.3 hours over with 20 knots on the tail, 9500' at 5,000 rpm and 100 knots true. 2.5 hours back with 10-20 knots on the nose, 8500' at 5,200 rpm and 112 knots true. That works out to 27 smpg over the ground and an average of 4.8 gph and 127 smph (total hobbs time, including taxi). Its good to have the bird back after a long time in the shop for its first annual!
