Oh, since you've been so polite

Take it 'ab absurdo' - reduce power to just above cruise and look at the fuel burn when you are still at 10000ft 200 miles after take-off. As above, the quicker you get up there the less you burn. Generally climbing above 35000ft 'ish when the air is about as cold as it gets will not make so much difference
