No long range tanks. Granted, I was almost on fumes when I got there, but no problem. I would not have pulled a long leg like that unless I was sure the weather was CAVU.
Yes, and the thread is about an O-320 powered 150 hp 150/152, which burns more per hour than the O-200/O-235 versions. Without long range tanks such an airplane would have somewhat less than 3 hours endurance at normal cruise settings.

O-200
 
Unless you are towing gliders I would stick with the O-200. Cheap to own, feed and maintain. The airframe flies great with 100HP.
