You still looking at piston poppers? Oh well...figure 185 down low and 200 up around FL100. Fuel burn 40-45 GPH or so. Not a bad airplane, but lose an engine and you're basically dead. 402C's are nice, but hard to find a good one with Cape Air snapping up every last airplane, and then there's that wing AD.
