lookin at a few numbers...most will go high speed cruise or whatever at or above .80,....but normal cruise is below that .75 or .80 ain't making no difference on a 1 or 2 hour sector, and to go as "fast" as a regular jet (.80) or better...would burn more fuel and run higher egt's etc...etc...not worth the effort, or wear and tear on equipment
