At 75% power, my plane burns 8.5 gph by the book, or about 7.5 gph in real life. That means that every 23 lb I gain is 30 minutes of fuel lost, and vice-versa. Right now, I can fly with my wife, two kids, dog, light luggage, and full fuel, and stay about 30 lb under maximum gross weight; as my girls grow bigger, I'll have to either lose weight or fly without full tanks (and perhaps leave the dog behind).
