Default Fuel Burn on 386 Sonic

Does anyone know what the burn rate per hour on a 386 Sonic would be?

496 Mags

496HO's

Thanks,

Derek

Mercs. formula is to take h.p. and divide by 12 that is fuel burn at 80% throttle. So h.o.'s would burn approx 70 gph at 4,000 rpm. and 496 mags would burn approx. 60 gph. At WFO (5,100) my single H.O. burned approx. 45 gph

Those numbers sound about right to me.
