What is your burn at that speed? I am at 6.8 gph at 125ktas, 9500 feet. Prop setting 5.

I hope some other members will post screenshots of their PFD - it will help with our knowledge base. I think that information is sparse on our aircraft and any information may be helpful in sorting out problems or answering questions.
My plane has the 914 engine and the prop is set at “5” pitch. With the “5” pitch setting I had some difficulty keeping the rpms managed and had to be vigilant in any descents.
One other thing, if you fly the turbo a bit higher you can achieve good fuel savings and not really loose any speed. This was the case with my 3.5 hour flight leg flown at 6500 to 7500 feet. See screenshot above.

Sorry to be so long in getting back.
I will check speeds again this weekend. And post pics.
My prop is pitched at 5 (or 5+). Mark Gregor pitched it.
Climb at 5 (or 5+) is solid at sea-level, but not great. I typically climb out of KWVI (Watsonville) comfortably at 800 feet per minute. I don't really think about it. I climb not for speed or fpm, but for visibility. We have lots of traffic at uncontrolled KWVI.
Based where I am, I'll take Cessna Cardinal cruise speeds of 130 ktas vs. a Cub-like monster climb. Might feel different if I was based at KTRK (Truckee) or some other high altitude airport.

You and FormerCirrus must be fueling your planes with Nitro!

I just fixed some static system leaks and my true airspeed at 6000’ is roughly 138kts. At 10K it climbs to 145kts true.

I must confess that’s the best I’ve ever seen ,but 133- 135kts TAS is often achieved. And I also confess I have an MT Constant speed prop which adds a few knots at cruise.
