What’s the gph range for typical cruise power settings? Including ROP/LOP?

For my SR22 G2, the typical fuel flow at cruise is 14.5 gph at say 6500’. At 9500’, it is around 13.8 gph. Speed is typically 172k TAS.

I do not fly ROP much, so I don’t remember any typical numbers.

What’s ROP?

Who needs it?

This is from today’s flight to San Antonio. Only doing 174k TAS LOP. Flying ROP might get 5k more while using much more fuel.
