His empty weight is 998, and I suspect mine will be a bit higher. Van's lists the cruise speed for this combination as 175 mph. From what I keep hearing, Van's numbers are usually on the mark. Also, the prop makes a big difference. Craig Catto cut one for me that he suspects will get me to 180 top speed. With all that background info, I sure am keeping my fingers crossed for a 75% power 175 mph cruise. The GPH thing, well that may be a bit optimistic but then again, I'll be burning regular unleaded in that 80 octane, low compression engine Bill -----Original Message----- From: owner-rvsoutheast-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rvsoutheast-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Ron and Shannon AWAD Sent: Thursday, April 20, 2006 8:44 PM Subject: RE: RVSouthEast-List: Ga$ --> RVSouthEast-List message posted by: "Ron and Shannon AWAD" --> I was told by many people including the folks at the EAA that handle the autogas STC for certified planes, that with my 0-320 160 HP engine I would need at least 93 Octane autofuel or av gas. I ran 87 in it for a month or so when I got it and at times I could hear some pinging so the 93 makes sence to me. No pinging or other issues with the 93. Bill, off topic but do you really think your bird will go that fast on that engine and with that fuel burn? I have had 2 other planes with 0-290 engines and both burned between 6-7 gallons per hour at best. In my RV-4 I am burning nearly 7 gallons per hour going 170 mph.

We will start at 8:00 AM. I'm planning on leaving to take Mike and his motorcycle to the Harley shop at 9:00 when they open. Should be back no later than 10:00. If you are finished with the buffer bring it. If not I will wait till you are done with it. I use it on the cars. No hurry though. See you tomorrow.
