I set approximately 83/83 and see 150kts indicated. Setting 90/90% is very likely to put the aircraft very close to, if not beyond, Vne, especially in turbulence because these aircraft are slippery beasts. The IAS warning is likely to be activated often and each excursion will of course be logged in the DAU memory.
83/83% will use something closer to 230 kg/h.
