    Good, bad or ugly

    Went 60 miles Saturday for the poker run. Cruised about 5000 to 5500 rpm. Filled up this morning and took 19.5 gallons. That is 3.1 miles per gallon. Is that good, bad or ugly?

    Good

    Anytime you make it back to the landing without damage or a brake down is good, fuel is considered pay to play

    That's what I would expect to burn at that rpm with my ProMax. If I play hard I can burn more than that
