We still had a 17 gallon fuel reserve upon landing. To get this kind of fuel range you need to get above 10,000 and have oxygen of course. The total fuel used was 42 gallons, total available was 59. We have made several flights from Alabama to Phoenix, AZ at a distance of 1330 nm, the flight time averages 7.5 hours, we normally make one fuel stop at Austin, TX. We both love coffey but we avoid it if we are going to make a long trip and we always have 2 quarts of water on board. Mel Yanda
