R44 fuel consumption

My R44's (both Raven 1 and now Raven 2) use 50 lt of Avgas per engine Hobbs hour (about 55 lt per flying Hobbs hour). This fairly constant (short term average, regardless of pilot) as well as over 14 years of ownership.

(Edit 2.4.2016: Fuel flow increases to 65 lt per flying Hobbs hour when fully loaded AND using maximum continuous power for maximum speed.)

70 lt or more is unheard of.
