  Bryan,
  
  14.1 gph is very doable with that engine.
  
  28" MP x 2100 RPM and 50F LOP would be about right.  It is very efficient 
and
very good for the engine.
  
  Regards,  George

   My ES holds 92 gallons of useable fuel.  Considering 6.5 hours flight
   time he would be burning 14.1 gph.  I have the TSIO550E engine which is
   the same as the Columbia 400. I don't think I could or would run this
   lean.  Even considering the LOP procedures this is very lean in my
   opinion.  He must have had a great tail wind.  It would have been a
   great flight in a IVP during the same day.
