Also i noticed you get more speed from a plane using prop pitch other than at full throttle.
You can see this when you try to wing up with AI.
I find that with some planes i can pace the AI at about 55/100 ( throttle/prop pitch ).
If i lower prop pitch to 70 I will out pace the AI.
It depends on the plane, but 55/100 runs at the same speed as 45/70, which overall means you are saving fuel and not losing any speed.
I'd have to think that running at 80/100 also has a more efficient setting, but i haven't taken the time to find it.
