Thank you guys for your responses. I've brought up several topics. I should have kept my question to fuel efficiency only. Comparing the 235 to the 260.

I have an A&P friend whom I trust that has offered to help me rebuild an o-540. He said he has two o-540's in his shop and that we could go with the 235hp or we could change the pistons in one t ...

OK, thanks. I was hoping I would not have to wait before finishing up the rudder. I wanted to take advantage of this beautiful Saturday while I can.

I'm learning. Thank you.

I am getting ready to drill on the rear spar. I am confused about the bit sizes. I see that #30 is not the same as 1/8". But, they look fairly close.

Can you use #30 for 1/8", #40 for 3/3 ...

What a great tip! Thank you.
