Clearly the second one, as you've spent the time at 330 operating efficiently.

You're own scenario shows that- you arrive at the fuel to climb 100 mile later- meaning you got that extra 100 miles for free compared to flying faster.

You use less fuel flying a route that is 100 miles less at 350 after all, don't you?
