Jukka,
As in any engine, the fuel consumption is dependent on the speed of the engine, and the loading place on it. So an engine idling and unloaded will consume less fuel than one idling with a load.
Plus or minus "1 gram/hp/h" is more precise than the US-EPA ratings for our automobiles, and none of us expect to get that in daily driving.
I'm afraid you are seeking something that does not exist.
