At fuel flows of more than 7 gallons per hour, I'm normally seeing economy of about 25 to 27 miles per gallon. Today I had a nice little tailwind, though.

Yep, at 216 knots Jen and I were enjoying fast glass speed with our meager metal wings, and we were getting to Vegas pretty quickly (under an hour).

We were meeting friends from the east coast. I won enough money at the poker tables to pay for the avgas and the room...woohoo! Jen even made it to the final table in her first tourney. I keep telling her she should play poker professionally so I can quit my day job and fly more.
