Earlier in the year someone asked what it costs to operate a Coupe. Out of
curiosity, I began collecting all the stats. Here is a summary of my year
2002:

Hours flown     65.3 - Should be a LOT more :(
Oil used           15 Qts
Oil burn           4.5 hours per Qt - This is a little misleading as I had
2
oil changes at 4 quarts each and am due for my 3rd now.
Fuel used        352.3 Gal
Fuel burn        5.4 hours per Gal. Running a C-85 with mostly Auto and
100LL

Expenses
Fuel                $740
Hanger            $2040 - $170 per month - Pretty poor hanger in Chicago
suburbs
Insurance        $869
Annual            $450
Oil Changes    $30 - filters
ELT Battery    $36
Total                $4176

Total per hour    $63.96 - I should have flown more to offset the fixed
costs....
