Better scavenging and more power means more fuel flow... - TANSTAAFL

When I'm pulling on the collective, looking for more torque, (rpm is
constant in my helicopter) there are times when fuel flow doesn't even come
into the equation. I will still normally only use the power that I need,
but when the density altitude starts climbing up a power reserve is worth a
bunch of money.]
