				change in IAS was created by Steve McNew			
			
				Recently, my A&P flew his Coupe along with me in mine - same time, conditions, speed - to check my IAS against his, on his i-pad - mine read much higher.  (he also did a little work, tightening a fitting in my fuel pump)  Back  home, we re-aligned my pitot tube to be the same as his, and on the next two flights, my IAS was about 20% and the next day, 10-15% lower than previously - same RPMs and alt.   The second of these, my gas consumption, measured from the same pump and nozzle, at the time it clicked off, was 9 gal. for 3 hours.  A marvel, but I'm not quite believing it.   Any thoughts?    Thanks, Steve
