What's a 172 do to the tank?

You can't tell me that you'd be unhappy with ~400 miles, Ricky?

Surprise surprise

It's mad - Prior to a couple of years back, I was more interested in tweaking the carb for power. Now it's all about the mpg

I thought about reducing the main a while back, I have a lead right foot so that probably wouldn't have done me any favours at 20lbs.

Nah, I've also reduced the 1st stage jet, mod'd the emulsion tube, and re-adjusted the acc' pump throw.

Sukhi, with that type of mpg from your 172, I reckon it's only a matter of weeks before Ricardo is back in a gtt again
