Avgas ran all the way from about 5.7 lbs/gal up to about 5.9x lbs/gal. I routinely use 5.82 lbs/gal as it was the average of that data set. The peak magnitude of the EGTs don’t change a lot with the last couple of inches of MP. This doesn’t have to be down to the last degree or even 10 or 20 or 30 degrees. """ Arrrrgh................ I don't know what the HP is - It has been my question for years. Is there a conversion of gallons to pounds based on temperature? Ok, if it is 160 HP (even at 1000 feet) at 15.4 Gallons per hr. then, at the inaccurate 6 pounds per gallon, that BSFC is .5775. Maybe I should fly at some LOP setting, get the fuel flow and back calculate the HP from the fuel flow. """
