It varies with a lot of things...if you mean "gas mileage."
But in a UH-1H, we used to go about 200 miles on about 175 gallons of JP4 or JetA jet fuel...so it'd be about 1.2 miles per gallon. With 14 people on board...that's not so bad for a helicopter!

"Milage" in an aircraft is not done as gallons per miles, rather it is done by calculating its fuel burn rate. In a helicopter it varies on make and model. A R22 will get somewhere around 13 gallons per hour as its burn rate, and it varies much depending on the helicopter, just think. A helicopter can just hover for 2 hours move very little and land when it runs out of fuel. So the best way to calculate "mileage" is by calculating the burn rate in the POH

The "mileage" of a helicopter is not the distance, but the time it has flown. It's measured in hours. So, a helicopter with many hours is like buying the old red truck from the used car salesman.

Figure between 1 and 4 miles per gallon, less for helicopters bigger then a blackhawk.

a helicopter or any other aircraft does not have mileage but 'range' and 'endurance'; range being measured in distance(km/NM) flown on a full tank at range(cruising )speed in zero wind, Endurance being time flown on a full tank in zero wind, at endurance speed, both with a eserve as designated by the manufacturer.
a typical light helicopter has an endurance of 21/2 to 3 hours and a range of about 300NM(550-600km), though it varies with makeof aircraft, weight, wind, temp condns.

Anywhere from 0 to about 10 miles per gallon.

Helicopter DO NOT have mileage.
Their amount of use and their fuel range is measured in hours.
The fuel range would vary from one copter to another, just as it would from one car/truck to another.
