For those who can't be bothered to do the maths (math for those over the pond...) the figures above give about 38 extra nautical miles for a 5000lb fuel load.

At the altitude/OAT shown, the aircraft is engine limited, not torque limited (MCP limit is 86% but only 80% available,) but you are still not really getting the turbine efficiencies you see on smaller types.
