REFLECTOR: Fuel Data

[Brent Bourgeois]

Those speeds are really good, but up high a tailwind can even make spam cans look good.
Its best to get a two way average GPS speed to get the error out.  24 mpg at that speed is really neat !!

I think 24 mpg at 195 mph is pretty frickin' amazing.  Airport to airport I 
get about 20 mpg cruising at 160 mph lean of peak at 8500 feet, and I 
thought that was pretty good trick. (IOX-360 with dual Plasma III, standard 
fuselage, FG, with electric nose lift.)
