Flight plan for fuel burn in 912ULS vs 912is vs 914?

Curious as to what you figure for fuel consumption when flight planning. Not an owner yet, so I'm guessing, but trying to make an engine decision.

912ULS - 5 gph
912is - 4.5 gph
914 - 5.5 gph

How far off the mark are the above numbers? I would be very interested in hearing your experiences, and what you plan for.

Thanks!

Real-world experience with a 912ULS in an Evektor SportStar: PA to FL in January, I averged 5.2 GPH.
