How much fuel can you save on a two hour sector?

Most short range fuel savings are derived from not doing full SID /STARS and from incorrectly forecast winds. The flight planning assumes the full routing is used. Contingency fuel may also not be used(200kg min for B738) Also consider if the runway was changed since flight planning was done (even shorter routing possible)
