Fuel Flow

I'm New Here
Hey guys, I am flying a RV-7A as hire and flying. It doesn't have
fuel flow gauge and the manual isn't really much help.

the aircraft has a fixed pitch O-360 engine so no fuel injection,
what sort of fuel flow can I expect.
 
I have a similar setup, an O360 with fixed pitch 7A and at cruise about 23 inch MAP I use about 9.5 gph. This of course varies depending upon altitude and leaning of the engine. I will see anywhere from 7 gph per hour to 10.5 gph depending upon what type of flying I am doing.

Hope this helps
