I know. I was looking at AOPA's discussion of the new Mooney Acclaim. What a nice looking bird. I thought it would be nice to have that for them little trips to California.
Then I saw the 34 gallons per hour at climb power figure.

That's going to take more money than I have to feed that thirsty little bugger. (Never mind the $460,000 price tag that goes with it.

)
