The cruise I've posted up in there was done at lower RPMs than the one in manual/yours (1800-2000 compared with 2300), and it is exactly for the lowest consumption of fuel/distance covered, therefore should be an economy cruise, not a fast (as I believe the one from manual to be, at 2300 RPM you're almost in the full power 2500 RPM area) or an endurance cruise (maximize the time staying in the air).

PS: yet, using the manual 2300 RPM for cruising.. isn't as being a lower RPM compared with my 2000(1800) one, as you said when we've started this discussion.. as it is actually a higher RPM, isn't it?
