Hi Dennis,

10 gal an hour... 60 pounds per hour divided by 270 HP is .37 [not. It
is .22]
BSFC.

What secret? The best auto conversions don't hit .41 !!!! Wild claims?

Hi Dave,

Cruise power is 200 HP.

Best regards,

Dennis

OK 10 GPH is 60 pounds per hour. 60/200 = .3 BSFC equally unlikely.
Every pilot should know what BSFC means. It is in the POH of every
aircraft I have ever flown.  These guys don't have a clue.
