250 kts below 10000?

Hi all,

Was wondering if anyone had a good idea about the magnitude of fuel savings when an aircraft is allowed 'no speed restrictions' on departure and is allowed to immediately accelerate to the FMC recommended climb speed.

My question isn't aircraft specific but basically applies to anything equal to or faster than an A320.

I'd like to know if it's worth it to request ATC for a high speed climb or would it be better to just sit silent till 10000ft.

Thanks
