'Could anyone on the list flying a Warner 165 please say their typical fuel burn in
cruise? Dick..could you also please say what yours is? I'm also curious about
typical cruise speeds. Sometimes the book numbers don't reflect reality. Thanks..

'Hi,

I cruise my 165 Warner at 1950 rpms with a 69-inch pitch wooden prop. It
gives me about 100 + or - mph. Fuel burn on a recent long cross country (25
hours flying time) averaged 10 gallons per hour. I'm not sure this is typical,
but these are the figures I use in planning trips.

Mine used 9 gal (us) per hour. Showed 107 mph, but who knows what it
really is, the GPS never matched the gauge.'

'Thus far we find we burn about 11 gph with the 220 Continental. My OTW
partners with 165 Warner is about 10 gph but the OTW is lighter than the
F24.

Hope this helps..
