Isn't it amazing how some folks are warning you how you lose speed and therefore will take you longer so it doesn't save you anything? They still don't get it that your mission is to acumulate time, not distance?
Climb at low rpm until you reach the highest altitude you can enroute, then power back more below green arc and descend the rest of the way.
Over time, you will save a buck or two; and you will learn a great deal about energy management. |
umm, it seemed to me like he was asking how to minimize cost... if you want to build time fly everywhere at 1900rpm with a notch of flaps down.
To minimize cost get there as fast as you can... 172 wise anyway... In my experience the Arrow is the cheapest way to get anywhere.
