To add...

76.... reduced AOA=less drag= lower fuel burn...

This practise is noticeable at altitude, above standard conditions and over distance.Helps when flying minimum legal fuel. Every pound/ litre/ gallon counts!!!

Also KTAS increases by a few knots. Play with your GPS fuel planning function, given these parameters, and see if this works.
