Tom, 
I had to cruise slow as I was flying with two RV's.  LOL  

Most of the trip was at between 20-22 MAP with the c/s prop set at 170= 0rpm.   We kept the speeds between 160 and 170mph most of the way. &nb= sp;Even at 180 I was still getting around 15 mpg, but fuel burn went up a b= it as you would expect (no free lunches).
