I think 75% power means running the engine at full
throttle at 6000ft or so.
At that altitude your engine can only develop 75%
power even with full throttle because of the thinner air.

When people refer to fuel consumption as being so manygallons per hour at 75% power , what do they mean?If I take 75% of 2400, I get about 1800 RPM. If I flew at 1800 rpm my fuel consumptionwould be about 4 gph or less. However, this would not do the engine any favors, I'm sure.So, my question is what do they mean, 75% power???Scott
