my admittedly brief experience with a P337 has resulted in 25-26gph fuel burn, takeoff to touchdown. That is at 65% power and 75ROP. I am learning LOP ops now and expect to do a little better than that....time will tell. The P337 isn't any worse than other P twins from what I can tell, but they are poorly maintained as a group, lots of marginal planes out there. A pre-purchase should be no less than an annual type inspection. Some potentially expensive repairs include windshield replacement ( about 10K ), and exhaust reworking. Another problem I had was cracked leaking fuel tanks, which is a huge time sink because they are a real pain to get in and out of the wing. If you gotta have a twin, go for it. But a P210 will haul twice as much in the cabin with full fuel, and do the same trip on 2/3 the fuel a P337 uses. Good luck in your search, some nice looking planes out there right now.
