Not a topic I would normally look at much, but the query about the fuel consumption caught my interest and I thought "why not read the damn POH?" So, I looked at the POH on the Robinson website, and there is zero reference to fuel consumption! The only reference on the whole website, is a statement that it is 7-10 gallons per hour (US gallons, that is). How does that work? How on earth can an OEM sell a product and the user has no means of calculating fuel burn for flight planning purposes?

The only detailed info I can find is a research document here: https://rosap.ntl.bts.gov/view/dot/1...12372_DS1.pdf? with some burns at different weights and speeds on page 25.

Bizarre!
