Back in 1946-56 My Dad had a Ercoupe 99136(now deceased) and two other guys had coupes. and we flew with about 7 Cessnas 120's and 140's and My Dad and than the other two coupes always beat the Cessna's . whenever we went over 40mi from home, when we went a 100 to 150 mi we had time to have a cup of coffee before the Cessnas arrived. Dad always put the coupe on the step and that is why he was always first. (and he didn't over rev.) Oh yes he would always take less gas than the other two coupes.
