P-300 vs P-200..real world
Was wondering if anybody has any info as far as fuel consumption between the P-200 and P-300. Yes I know they list 24oz/min and 31oz/min at full throttle...but kinda wondering if the P-300 would become more efficient as it would be hardly working most of the time. Also any input guys might have is welcome....THX!

I have no hard data but after running both a P-200 in a 48lb 1/6 F-16 and a B300F in a 68lb 1/5 F-16 I think the B300F may working less and using less fuel. I don't fly it fast but use the thrust for take off, vertical, and slow flight at high AOA. Just cruising around at mid range thrust it does not use as much as I expected. Im sure if the P-200 was in the bigger jet it would be running much higher fuel flow for the same speeds and would be at max thrust much longer for the other maneuvers. Just my gut feel.

I just have the stock three tanks, two saddle and one center header tank. About 280 oz total. Plenty for the way I fly. 8 min flights with timer started at Take Off and landing with 60-80 oz normally. Am starting not to fill it all up just to save weight.
