Yep, 50LPH in an IO550 in the cruise and allow 60-65 for the first hour (Rough guess off the top of my head). If the thing is poorly rigged, the speed might suffer, but there are minimum standards to maintain these things to. 
If it ran out of fuel, it either had massive head winds or a lack of EMS and a pilot who knows how to operate it and use the red knob appropriately
. My statistics suggest that is >98% of pilots sadly.

Why is everyone so hung up on flying from Alice Springs. The plane departed Halls Creek that morning.
Of course this is the usual thinking aloud and extrapolating from news reports; there may be a perfectly rational explanation, but it's amazing how often the obvious answer proves correct on these pages.

Re 'Dep. Halls Ck',
Even more so, it would seem at 'face value' to be an 'extreme decision' to land on the 'paddock' sans wheels.....
Was Derby not available?
Only 90nm = approx. 40 mins or so in a 210.....
Just 'curious' is all...
Cheers

Dr you have an exceptionally fast 210!
You need to be sure that you are comparing apples with apples - I am rarely found below A090 in cruise!

Forky; I have mentioned this on these boards previously, a long time ago though, but many years ago I was checked out in what was reputed to be the fastest C210 in Australia.
We were in level flight at about 3,500 feet and I was told to set 25"/2500rpm.
We reached 175Kt IAS from memory.

Even at 9500 a touch over 150kts for around 55l/hr seems the average for me, with the wheels up and 2400rpm
or rarely fly West

PS: I have flown west across WA with GS of 104 kts to 210 kts in the V-tail, same power settings!
