CRJ 70...about 4000 to 4200 for T/O climb out to altitude. Cruise anywhere from 3000ish at .70m too 3800 at .82m
Just guesses from what I remember. CVG to SDF yesterday 1400lbs of gas. We need a turboprop for routes like those. I'll pay a little more attention tomorrow and maybe right some down.
I did JFK to AUS in the 900 and our gate fuel was something like 19300. We had about a 100kt headwind for the first 2 ours of the flight. I think we burned a little over 13000 pounds of gas for the flight, we flew the whole way at .82 as we were running about 1.5 hours late.

When I flew the CRJ, I used an average number of 3000lbs per hour for flight planning purposes. Worked well on flights shorter than about 2-3 hours and included taxi fuel. (IE if I had a flight that was enroute of 2:00, I wanted about 6000lbs + reserve).

The EMB-120 for SKW normally burns about 750-850 lbs per hour, total. I’ve seen the burns around 700 total when conditions are favorable.
Yesterday from ATL-MKE we burned 6023 lbs in the CR9 at FL380. That was about 1500 lbs per side at M.77. On the way back we burned 6700 but had the fuel burn around 1450 per side at M.77 @ FL390 (head winds).
Today from COS-ATL my CA flew .82 (had a plane to catch) at FL370 and we burned around 1950 lbs per side with a TO weight of 82K; total burn was just under 10K. It's amazing how much more fuel it takes just to arrive 10 minutes early. Not worth it in my mind but it wasn't my ship and I didn't have a plane to catch.
Normally, for the CR9, you’ll burn around 1600-1750 lbs per side when above 77K lbs and at M.77. If you pull it back to M.74 you can drop it into the 1500’s or lower.

My personal best was just under 1100 lbs total at FL450 in the Citation Encore (.75 Mach).
