You know, If I hadn't seen the GZ i probably would have bought one... BUT, i love the GZ... Looking at them side by side and front and rear for that matter the GZ is lower, wider, longer and phatter She's got better legs by a longgg way too a 13 litre fuel tank!! thats about 370 klms on 10 litres BEFORE reserve!! (I'll let you do the math :neener: )

hehehehe isn't the metric system, Imperial and USMPG FANTASTIC, I'm sure it was devised to confuse the hell out of us!!!!!
OK here we go..... 37Klms = 22Miles and Im getting that per Litre (L), therefore 1Litre = about 0.26 USG, 1USGal = 3.78L SO....... I'm getting roughly 1/0.26 x 22 = 84M/USG (or easier 22/0.26= 84) And I'm a pilot!! how do you think I go, going from a Piper Warrior (US) to a French (EADS) Tobago!!! dont you think the converter is smoking then!!!!!! :cuss: Al' Login or Register to Remove Ads |

Grew up with the Imperail system and had to switch to Metric. Had to also know the U.S. System as well. I would have been lost without a calculator that did conversions. I still think in Imperial MPG and Lbs for weight. And some people wonder why us old folks get confused. lol.

Yeap, thats pretty close to my 84M/USGal, and 180Klm on 5 LITRES :neener:
Al' P.S I think i put in a quick conversion in a previous post OR you can add to those, 3.78 X 22 = 84-ish too. |
