Jimboboy, there is nothing magic about those numbers - they are just approximate SAR at average weight.

They don't need to be brilliantly accurate, because you are only using them to estimate mid-point weight.

So have a look at the tables and calculate SAR at suitable weight, for appropriate altitude. Remembering that appropriate altitude will be lower than cruise for 1 INOP, Depressurised, gear down, etc.
