Add IFR reserves with 7 pax and you are probably going the sum total of 'NOWHERE".

Perfectly true, but for another reason as well.
Try putting seven pax into a VIP fit 109E and see where the CofG is. It just can't be done with a standard VIP machine. Your fuel load is so low as to make it unusable, but more importantly the CofG position is well outside limits, by a large margin. Getting rid of the front LHS pax will bring it into limits, but again as Giovanni says, no fuel to go anywhere.
