fuel rate

[bransom]

4 EGTs, yes, but I don't quite get how the fuel monitor helps, i.e., you
can't just lean cuz it says it's thirsty. ??
-Ben

This is where my fuel monitor really helps me. It allows me to lean with

EGTs, RPM and ASI, to get the most fuel efficiency and smooth running RPM
at every altitude. I usually cruise at 7.5 US gph where without this gauge
would likely be running at 8 or 8.5 if I just leaned to smooth running.
With my carb, all 4 EGTs don't peak at once, so a little playing around is
always necessary to get the best compromise.

Oh. I just thought it was slower, but I guess if it means driving
aroundin high gear (flatter pitch), it is more power, more gas.

more $, ...like most fun things

I don't know Ben....I could easily burn 9.5US gal/hr with FOKM
