fuel flow
Gas moving through lines
Fuel flow is the rate at which fuel moves through a system, typically measured in gallons or liters per hour.
The term appears most often in aviation and automotive contexts, where monitoring fuel flow helps pilots and drivers track consumption and estimate range: The fuel flow gauge showed we were burning more than expected.
