In Australia each scenario has a different required set of reserve fuel requirements.

If yo uare flying a pressurised piston aircraft, then the engines (as they have a fixed compression ratio) don't have the change in fuel efiiciency with altitude that jet have, and will thus be affected differently in the scenarios you have listed.
