I wish I did make that mistake, then it was easy to fix.
In my POH, my max TO weight is 4630 lbs (which I used), and the max landing weight is 4400 lbs.
With the 150 gal, 2 gal is unusable, and stays in the plane (as part of the empty weight), thus the full fuel added should read 888 lbs (at least the way I understand it). Even if I did add an extra 12 lbs for the unusable fuel (assuming that it has not been added before), it does not change my CG's at all.
During this trip, we only added the amount of fuel mentioned, to make my CFI feel better.
But still it does not make sense. What are your ususal CG's you get?
