155 for a typical 210 v 165 for a typical 36 v a little quicker again for a typical 35.

I can slow my Bo down to 155 by operating well lean of peak EGT and only burn 49 liters/hr while the 210 is burning 60 doing 155ktas...faster my arse

Lets face it...210, V35 and A36 share the same engine/prop...which aeroplane is sleeker and lighter at MTOW?

210s and the Cherokee 6 variants are great load haulers...but you pay a price for that.

Hey! Now we are going to go at it!

My V35B has an IO-520.

I fly it as high as I possibly can to chase a smoother ride up north here, on 2300/full throttle (21") - I figure about 60% power. At that it trues a consistent 160 and burns 50 lph at 25 ROP (as per the book). You could safely get that back to 48 lph if it had an all cylinder engine monitor. If I stoke it up to 2400 it trues 165 and burns 55 lph. If I pull it back to 2200 it trues 155 and burns 45 lph.
