Not too long ago, I had a tailwind of about 95 knots or so (forget where I was going) and I got speed my discretion from ATC, pulled it back like to Mach .65 and saved about 400 lbs of fuel over the course. We were showing arriving about 25 mins. early, and we still showed up like 10 early to the gate. Gotta love how quite the airplane is at those speeds.
