Is the fuel flow for the Beechcraft Bonanza correct? AE indicates a fuel flow of 266 PPH (At least I assume it's in PPH), but other sources suggest that the actual fuel flow is lower. Using data from the links shown below and assuming each gallon of fuel weighs 6.79 pounds, I calculated an average fuel flow of 107.51 PPH. Am I missing something? Did I do something wrong? Or is AE's number incorrect? If so, could the fuel flow be corrected? Thanks!

I have often wondered about this

Without looking up the data, I think the bonanza with a IO 470 engine burns about 15-20 gallons an hr.   Which is about 120 pph. Un less your talking  about the twin bonanza. Then you double it.
