Re: P51 fuel consumption & "fighting weight" on long range escort
Revi - according to my handy Hamilton Standard Aero Vest Pocket Handbook 110LL avgas is 5.87 pounds per gallon, JP1 is 6.65, JP6 is 6.759 and Kerosene is 6.7 pounds per gallon..and synthetic oil is 7.74
Berlin is 503 miles vis great circle course from London - the average from the fighter fields north of London was probably about the same.
