I have the SAE paper 920309 in my hand. Page six paragraph (3).
No such statements. They are talking about **driving fuel consumption **.
Not steady state fuel consumption.

Here is a gif of the paragraph.

We have had several in-flight fires. It is a good idea to keep
the fuel and the oil as far away from the exhaust as possible.

AMEN....AMEN!!!

Linda's and my "BUNS" are worth a lot more than any kind of savings in fuel
burn.......However I can't speak for anybody else's, since I don't know the
quality of their's ;)
