There are so many variables....What was weight of plane.  I took off at gross yesterday and flew at 2500 feet with fuel burn of 9.1GPH.  NOWHERE NEAR 145knots.  I was 130 tops (groundspeed) and that was/is just fine. 

 

You guys with your 150+knot C,E,F's...ENJOY.

Who cares what your GS is; that is completely irrelevant to the topic of airspeed. During the summer, my F is typically a 125kt airplane (GS) as long as I'm headed West. That tells us nothing about airspeed, unless we know the wind component.
