What alt/power setting were you at? I never get that low of fuel flow, but then again, I'm not paying for the gas!

I was at FL 270 and I used the ITT to set power. I just picked a low 700's number around 710 - 725 or so. We had a huge tailwind and it was my first time stretching the legs in this airplane so I didn't see much of a downside in a slightly lower true airspeed. If I remember correctly we were truing out at about 258 and the fuel flow was about 46 gal per hour. We had a 50 knot tailwind which always helps

Ah, yeah I'm a "Max Cruise Power" setting guy, so I'll set it in the 750-760 range, keeping the Ng around 100%, then we'll see 270-280ktas, around 50-53gph
