I fly at 65% power, thats because I dont have all the nifty toys like you
have, other wise I would be flying at 75% power. The only exception is
when
I have a strong tail wind and a reduction in power does not really affect
my
ground speed.
If you want to use less fuel fly higher. But my rule of thumb is not to
fly
more then 5 hours per leg, this is with full tanks.
Not without a wooden leg, either. You young whippersnappers might do that,
but I'd think us older guys would have to be winched out of the cockpit
after five hours.
