150 would be fine as a short trip plane. About 110 knots or so, if I remember right. 172 can add 10 knots as one this old. Fuel burn, 100LL, 150 can be as low as 6GPH at best cruise, 172 is around 9GPH. Both can be auto gas STC'd for $1.50 per HP, so the 145 HP 300 Contintental in the 172 would cost $217.50.

Only need to burn 100LL every 75 hours to coat the valves, auto gas is much more forgiving on spark plugs and the rest of the engine except on the worst of the high density altitude days when I will be running 100LL.
