On a typical hour long flight I usually see about 450 lbs (67 g.p.h.) fuel burn. This is block time so actual flight time is 50 - 55 minutes. This flight takes off at sea level and cruises at FL210. The cruise speeds I see are about 245 KTAS at 10,000' and about 275 KTAS at FL210. These are attained using the max cruise power settings.

Typical first hour consumption climbing to FL270 up to 300 is 450 pounds. Then the fuel rate is between 315 to 340 lbs/hr at FL 300 and add 10 lbs/hr for each 1000 ft bellow FL300. Lower ISA temps higher consumption but more power and speed. At ISA or ISA minus 10, speed is about 270 to 280 at FL 250. At ISA plus 20 the speed decreases to about 250.
