A while ago a similar topic was discussed, so one day I punched the info into the sec flt pln on the 340. Did a super long sector, at the equator, identical conditions for both. Fuel required came up at 100 kg more going from W to E than vv. Tried it in a few different ways. Always 100 kg more.

See how much fun long haul can be!
