To many variables must be the same, or very close together for a rule of thumb you list to work or apply
Example is the HP required to overcome all of the losses...then what HP is required to do the job of moving and keeping at speed for your setup
That HP min should be at the min RPM found on the torque/HP curve graph...therefore throttle setting. Note all of these graphs is at WOT
Losses...pumping, frictional, drag, sail area, inertia of mass, rolling, etc, etc and note that they all increase as the speed increases
