Just remember that the numbers are optimum, no wind, properly leaned. In the real world, you must allow for the often encountered 20 knt headwind, occaisional rerouting by ATC, less than optimum leaning, Also, fuel stops are not always available at the point in your route to be able to use all of your range and still allow a reasonable reserve. But, yes, the book figures should be very close to achievable if conditions fit your flight plan. A nautical mile is approximately 1.15 statute miles.
