Well… then instead of your
INDICATED usage of 18.9, you have an actual usage of about 17.9 - - which is
going in the right direction.
Still - - at 17.9 and 2500 and 29.5 - - -
that still sounds a bit high for 100 F LOP at 29.5” MP.

George,
I put in less gas than the fuel used says
has been used. It is about 1 gallon per hour (at cruise) less usage than the
fuel flow says.

Lynn,
Something "doesn't fit".
IF you were 103d LOP - - - at 18.9 gph, the MP would have had to be
up around 36" . It wasn't.
I suspect that your fuel flow gage is in error. But it could be some
other issues.
Have you calibrated your fuel flow against the gas pump re-fill volumes
?

When I was being checked in the plane out by Orin Ridell he did a
"GAMI"
check. I believe the # 5 EGT peaked at 1528 F. That is what I've used as
the reference EGT for adjusting to lean of peak. Based on that, this
flight was 103 F lean of peak.
Why am I getting the feeling that I may have been operating using
incorrect procedures/data?
