Subbed. Moved to TN from CA 6 months ago and been eyeing up Mooney's to do exactly what you're doing - long distance flights with the wife and the pup.
Nice rig you have. I’m restoring a 1971 M20E. Won’t have turbocharging, but will have SIMs to replace both mags and power flow exhaust. Hoping to crowd 175 knots at 12,500.
I believe it was 9 gph around 175 mph true airspeed. You can go faster and burn more fuel. When I bought the plane they said 10gph at 185 kt which is only true if you catch a nice tail wind.
