If you are hiring from most clubs and use book figures you will amost certainly end up with less fuel than planned even with leaning, those figures are not done using a 20 year old aircraft with a 2.000 hour engine flown by an average club pilot! In fact as already pointed out in this thread many who hire club aircraft do NOT lean because they do not get the cost benefit of the fuel saving, which was the point of my post.
