I'm a WOT guy, with one exception. You back off the throttle until the
MP gauge needle tickles, then leave it. This way you come out of the
economizer mode and use a lot less gas.

I was always taught that WOT was a "renter's setting" and that you should
back off to 2300-2400 if you want to get good life out of your engine. I
keep running across the Advanced Pilot Seminar guys asking, "Why EVER be
partial throttle in cruise?
