R66 fuel usage

To reply to the fuel usage in my R66
I mainly travel with 2 up and baggage
Sitting at66% 115 kts I use 81 ltr hr
I just flew back from tazzie a few weeks ago 5.1 hrs from flinders and headwind all the way
Heading up new coast had 20 kts on the nose so we sat 83'% all way from malacoota and burnt 84.7 ltr hr also 2 up this was 130 kts air speed
I do agree they do fly better with a heavier load on but speed and fuel don't seem to vary much
