Well general consensus can be over rated IMHO!

But based on the total mechanical energy testing I did years ago, each plane had a very different result. I still have a copy of those test results that I plan on uploading to my website, i.e.

www.flightsimtesting.com

But they are not up at the moment.

Here is a good paper on energy use in Aircraft.
