a 20-series lear at gross will pull hard all the way up to fl410..the bypass-engine turbofan versions, like the lear-35 couldn't make it to the top at gross weight.
20-series lear in cruise will see around 1,500 lbs/hr....but boy, did a few vfr ferry permit flights below fl180 with burn rates near 3,000 lbs./hr! at idle?? a 20-series is burning a little more than 2,000 lbs./hr...so you're right..they burn less at cruise than at idle.
