I thought Lynxman's idea was pretty ingenious
You think that's something that could only be made up. My old boss at a low-rent 135, when they bought their first jet; a Lear 24 freighter, was trying to find ways to save on the fuel burn. We're descending into MEM and he pulls #1 back to idle. "Look", he says, "the FF's way down". Meanwhile, #2's pushed up so far the EGT's bumping against the red line.

But at least he was saving some gas!
 
We operate a Falcon 2000. We had slowed to .80 on all legs but have picked back up .82 with the significant decrease in fuel costs.
 
Thanks guys maybe I should be flying a GLEX.
You never know, if the girl in your avatar has any friends for me I may be able to hook you up!
