But... If the club is using tach time, then it is to his ADVANTAGE to
lean it out and cruise at a slower RPM. The two airplanes I fly have
both hobbs and tach readings. We bill off the tach, though. I log my
flights off the hobbs. I can sometimes get 2.0 hobbs and pay only
1.3-1.5 tach.

Hi all,
Can anyone tell me if there are reasons other than fuel conservation
for flying a warrior slower cross country?

yeah - to increase the amount of money you rack up on the hobbs
meter while decreasing the per hour fuel cost.
