<I'm carrying 54 gallons with full
tanks and flew a 1,000 nm leg
the other day (5 hours 25 min) and landed with 2
hours fuel in the tanks.
Can any of you 360 guys do that?>

My 360 has made three non-stop's to Sun-n-Fun,
from 30 miles NW of Denver, 1360nm.

DATE   FLT TIME  FUEL BURN  REMAINING FUEL/HRS

4/12/96   7.6       42.3           13.7 / 2.5

9/6/97    8.1       38.8           17.2 / 3.6
Low level diversions for Marginal WX in FL

4/9/01    7.7       44             12 / 2.1
Headwinds last 1/3 of route
Power setting 17" - 18",  1800 - 1850 RPM

Altitude 11500 - 13500

There are usually some good tail winds along that route, but never the entire
trip. The first trip was just a stunt to razz my RV buddies, but now I prefer
nonstop because I arrive less tired by avoiding dips into hot humid
bug-infested air.....BILL HANNAHAN
