Coming home, just the reverse - serious headwinds, high RPM and

usage is more critical than fuel capacity.


What does it serve to know FUEL FLOW unless you can calulate that again
CAPACITY?

How does it help to know how much money you spend if you don't know how much
you have in the bank? (Insert joke about "How can I be out of money, I still
have checks in my checkbook?")
