When a pilot (including me) states that his engine

burns X GPH in cruise, it

means precisely *Nothing*.
Unless that figure is accompanied by RPM and

manifold pressure, it is not

useful for anything other than interesting trivia.
My in-flight fuel burn can be anything from 3 to

20 GPH.  Just depends on

where I set the throttle and mixture.

AH! Thanks for that, Tracy!
