"WOT full power typically requires 0.5 lb fuel per HP per hour. Thus, a 300 HP engine needs 300 x 0.5 is 150 lb per hour.
Gasoline weighs about 6 lb per gallon.
So, 150 lb per hour divided by 6 lb per gallon equals 25 gallons per hour fuel fuel flow at WOT"

Excerpt from Doug Roe's 2:nd book page 24 of Rochester Carburetors, where you can read the entire equation.

FWIW
