Boy, I am impressed with those figures, Al.  9.6 gph would only get my RV-6A up to around 185 MPH TAS.

I’ve finally got the EM2 fuel burn pretty well calibrated, and took note of some readings today.

 

At 7500 ft I was cruisin’ at 200 mph (TAS) at 20.7 mpg, 9.6 gph (average of two readings). MAP at about 17.2. One reading at 8500, same speed, of 21.2 mpg.  This 20B is better on fuel than I expected; I like it!
