Cessna turbo 206H 51l/hr LOP 138kts F080, 150kts F180, 6 seats. Cruise fuel is of course only part of the cost of a flight, taxiing, climbing, maintenance, insurance, engine hours, landing fees, road transportation,(Meridian needs tarmac, 206 likes grass, which means with the latter you can often land nearer to your real destination), need to be factored in if a useful cost comparison of types is to be made.

So your fuel consumption is the same at 080 and 180?

Yes. As I said:
I am not doing a full cost analysis but only a per mile look at fuel costs to give some perspective for the discussion.
The SR20 G3 is almost exactly the same as Peter's TB20 figures, which surprised me as the gear is not retractable.
135 KIAS / 150 TAS at FL100 / 10.3 GPH (best economy calculated by the lean assist EMAX thingy)
almost exactly the same as Peter's TB20 figures, which surprised me as the gear is not retractable.
Dodgy engineering on the French plane... :)

Blimey! Don't say that. I will get thrown out of here!!

Burning A1.
And at MTOW 1,950Kg, no pesky airway charges. :-)

Yes per hour, turbocharged, 0.37l/nm at F080 0.34l/nm at F180. 0.062 and 0.057l/ per seat respectively.
I look forward to the results.

Thanks Eduardo. We will have to have another thread whether you can actually carry any fuel at that MTOW! :)
