Ok, I tried searching the forums for general fuel saving tips for props, but came up short. So, I hope this isn't something that gets asked a lot.

Anyone got any suggestions to help save on fuel? Does running lean help? Lower Prop RPM's? Just go slower? Higher altitude? Anything?

Thanks a million anyone that has suggestions!  I'm really new at this.

Turning on 'unlimited fuel' in the realism menu helps a lot.  :)

Hey, thanks for all that very helpful info!

I can tell I need to learn a lot. I don't know what EGT or TAS mean, so I'm gonna have to go learn some.

I'll try to do my research on the plane also. Thanks again!

EGT = Exhaust gas Temperature
TAS = True Air Speed
