When you are over the mountains you don't have much choice, however when he
got down no water had been lost, he claims 5.5 gph for the trip, so he must
have throttled back a bunch.

Yes it is above the mountains where it gets real hot sometimes.

Lets see 5.5 times six pounds per gallon or 33 pounds per hour 
at a 0.42 BSFC or about 78 HP. What kind of airplane was that?
