hi larry you are right. I may fly fairly often to Florida and Midwest around 1100 miles. Hoping to store enough gas to do that with one fuel stop. 15 mins is not big issue per leg so you have a point, the faster the speed, the less each increment really saves. 180 (the "advertised" cruise speed, lol) is probably way more realistic.
