What is the gas mileage of a fighter jet?

The term "gas mileage" is generally used to describe the fuel efficiency of vehicles. It is not typically applied to military fighter jets, which have unique and specific fuel consumption characteristics and are optimized for different performance requirements. Fuel consumption in fighter jets is referred to as fuel flow, which is measured in pounds per hour (lb/hr) or kilograms per hour (kg/hr). Depending on the aircraft's operating profile, speed, and altitude, the fuel flow can vary significantly.
