Does any one know how much fuel the 6.0 uses at idle vs the high idle in gallons per hour?

If I remember I'll check for sure tomorrow morning, with the scan guage.
Low idle is like something like .7-.9 g/hr when cold
Factory elevated idle .9-1.2 g/hr cold
Elevated idle mod PTO 1200 RPM 1.2-1.4 g/hr cold

I've seen at operating temp. low idle .4g/hr I think???
Elevated idle mod PTO .4g/hr Know for sure there.
