On my last leg coming home on my 2000 mile trip, I upped the power ( from the normal 6.5-7.5 gph cruise which gives me around 170 MPH TAS) to 10.5 GPH fuel burn. That increased my speed to 190 MPH TAS at 7500 MSL. So I got a 10.5% increase in airspeed for around a 34 % increase in fuel burn at the same altitude. So for long distances, lowereing the fuel burn gains you considerably in distance traveled before refueling. Ed Anderson Matthews, NC RV-6A N494BW eanderson@carolina.rr.com
