Your fuel burn will be dependent on the air density at your selected altitude, and the RPM and MAP #s you choose. On a  65 degree F. day at sea level with 2500 RPM and about 29 inches MAP I burn about 16-16.5 gph at 60 LOP at FL230-240.  I've never seen 15 gph at power and air density #s like the ones I referenced above.

...but while I'm there,
Anybody have fuel flow numbers for a IVP at 250 knots/fl240 ?
My crude calculations say it should be less than 15GPH LOP
