11.5K, 147 kts TAS, 5.7 gph, OAT -5C. it's more efficient when it's cold. Winter flying is the best and smoother.
Wichita to Cincy direct, 20kt tail wind, 3:43 hrs, 22 gallons total, 610 nm.
no need to refuel before the next local flight.

No different than a Tesla owner not paying road taxes.
Seriously, Greg and I are friends and poke each other, when we get a chance.
