The 206 fuel flow chart starts at 60 knots, so can't help you there, but at 60 knots true airspeed it uses 145 pounds per hour (sea level, +15 celsius)

The EC 120 manual gives about 180 lb/h in these conditions.

The AS350B2 manual states 230 lb/hr (130lt/hr) if i read it right.

We fly a SD2 but i can't find fuel consumption figures anywhere in the flight manual for the soloy engine.

Hope this helps.
