I had a quick look at the link and whilsy they were "close enough" for an "type v type" comparison they are pretty optimistic and seem to be sourced from individual operator input rather than a methodical result form a large sample.
One single was IMHO light by 5 litres per hour not a biggie in the "old days" but $10ph today.
Another aircraft fro which I have gained an intimate knowlkedge in recent months was over $480ph light on fuel, enough to really spoil your day.

As OpsNor avers EVERY operator is different and has a different way of handling and reporting costs new v used, maint shop v maint shop.

Unless you are prepared to reveal the reason and or purpose for which you require the info, then I think is as much as anyone is able to help you here. PM me if you want.

For a straight market comparison of brands within a market segment the Gold standard is the ratio of used value to new average cost for any one year.
The market is absolutely ruthless in this regard and if a given brand does not perform as advertised in any given segment it is marked down accordingly.
That information is also available but again ata a cost.

Hence the reason for the request is important. Idle curiosity = whats on the web for free, business investment decision = you pay for it = free advice is usually worth what you paid for it.
