My air speed to the rotary roundup was
145 kts.  at 6500 rpm, and 24 inches of MP.
Oil temp was 180 at the start, which was colder.
then 197 as I got closer to Florida. I figured I got 12 mpg on this run.

Comming home, on the third leg, I was at 7500ft at 6950rpm and 155 kts.
almost 25 inches. the barometer was 29.89. at altitude, the oil was
187f and the water about the same. Oil pressure was 45 psi.

exhaust temp always runs 1750 F.

The low altitude flight from Tracy's to Plantation airport took
about 17 gal of gas. I was pushing it.

What were the other things you asked.

    Jerry,

      Is your oil pressure of 45 psi a mis-type? Sounds low for a 13B
 at high RPM.
