I have more than a few hours in the C210, including one of the last new N models sold in Oz.
I stand by my statement!
I understand that the Scimitar prop knocked a couple of kts off the FTDK in cruise but it climbs like its on rails.
I suspect that with an all cylinder engine monitor and LOP I could safely get it back to <45 l/hr at the same power setting (2300/22 at A100).
