Can anyone tell me if there are reasons other than fuel conservation
for flying a warrior slower cross country? Our club advises the pilots
to fly cross-country at or below 2300 RPM.

Is fuel included in the aircraft hourly rental price?

Slower airspeed equals more hours to reach the same destination. That
equals more aircraft rental hours per month, that results in increased
monthly income.

Given the current national heat wave, perhaps there is concern about
overheating the engine, but that shouldn't be an issue at altitude.
