Gary,
Sounds like a perfect time to tout some of the outstanding benefits of your
new cowling design:)

I just put 30 gal of avgas in my Tiger today, $5.15 a gal (over $150.00). I
am wondering now what I am going to do with it when gas hits $10.00 or
$15.00 a gal. I certainly won't be flying it except on special occasions.
Guess I can turn my hanger into a museum so people can look at what we used
to do in the good old days (I will put my 2004 Hemi Powered Pickup Truck in
their too).
I see a lot of Tigers now going on sale. This must be a part of the reason.
I hope I can afford to fly 68B to Texas in July........... May have to drive
my wife's Diesel Jetta, which I have converted to run on McDonalds used
french fry oil.........................................
Claude
I posted this to the OTHER board: Bounced it as NOT Grumman Specific. I
thought all Grummans use gas of some sort...

I think we are all going to be more European in our approach to flying -
long distance will be a 2 hour flight with an overnight stay (of course,
on the Continent, you can cover many countries in two hours!)
I have gotten mighty "economy minded" when I fly - maybe its time create
some economy charts and find the best-efficiency altitude and
horsepower...(Flying through France - I do remember a $250.00 fuel bill
to top off a Tiger...)

================================
I could have told you that! That what? That unless you own our own business
you could not afford to run a Hemi! Runs ONLY on Supper huh! That's why I
put a 409 in my 53 Ford.
So you converted your diesel ... Gee, I wonder how you did that? All you
have to do is refine the french fry oil ... Not the engine. Only other problem
is cost of refining brings up the cost of used french fry oil up to gas prices.
So when is the dumb government and environmentalist going to wise up and let
business develop more refineries?
And don't give me that BS about GasAlcohol.

I purposely spelt french fries in lower case.

I took an MS Excel performance chart for the Tiger (off the other list) and
modified it to show power settings - density altitude and miles per gallon.
If anyone is interested in a copy, it is here....
http://home.earthlink.net/~gilalex/Tiger/
called "performance chart.xls"
Except for high power settings at low altitudes - not applicable to me
since I live at 3000 ft in a warmer than average climate, the MPG does not
really alter that much...
At 11,000 ft, 2500 rpm, 123 kts gets 16.0 mpg
At 6,000 ft, 2450 rpm, 123.5 kts and 15.35 mpg (interpolating)
4% worst mpg, same speed, but you would use more gas climbing the extra
5,000 ft.
gil in Tucson 90F tomorrow... summers on the way.....
