Fuel Consumption

Does anyone know of a spot to go to that would list the different truck engines and a normal fuel consumption per hour at idle RPM and possibly additional RPM, maybe like at 1500, 2500, etc??

Every truck is different. I think the base line for the 7.3 is .8gal/hr at idle

Thanks, I needed only a general answer at this time. The engine you replied on is probably larger than needed, so I think around 0.5 gal per hour is a good answer for my little project. Thanks for the help !!!
