ADSIE,
Today is March 28th. You are a just few days early with your question.
On a more serious note: How much of the statutory reserve are you going to use if you ever put yourself in the situation of needing it. 1 minute? - 15 minutes? - 44 minutes. What if it's not there? Or gone stale?
I helped a bloke to push his C172 off the runway after the engine failed in the landing flare. The guy complained that he was only 20 minutes into his 45 minute statutory reserve.
