Peter,
I don't know who you are, Jabawocky, but I think you have been to too many seminars
hehehheheh

It matters not who I am, it is data backed facts that matter. Play the ball and not the man they say!

Too many seminars Perhaps, but I think like always, you and many others have been to too few!

Answer my question please.

I measure my fuel flow down to 0.026GPH, that is irrelevant. The tradeoff for fuel flow Vs Lost Speed is not niminal and hardly worth the effort.

For example at high altitudes as you do, if I go from 37.0 to 40.5 LPH do I go 10% faster? No. I am lucky to see 4%. This is around peak or just ROP, been so long I dont recall the exact numbers. If I go to a high altitude ROP setting burning say 40% more fuel, I am lucky to go 10% faster.

If you do not find similar things, you must be doing it wrong! It just does not make sense.

Now back to my question please, and these numbers I do remember because I took photos.
