Hi David,
I tend to leave my EM2 set to show mixture and must admit I don't pay 
much attention to fuel flow. If the engine's running smoothly and the 
mixture's in the middle the fuel flow (shown by the EM2) isn't going to 
tell me much. The few times I checked I think it was showing anywhere 
between 7 - 8 gph at a gentle cruise and 13 or so at higher throttle 
settings.  I don't think I've ever checked it on take-off  (too busy 
watching temps and mixture). I usually flight plan for 10 gph and that 
seems to work out fairly well. If I ever get to less than 5gals in 
either side I consider it time to land and get fuel.
Regards,
John
