Fuel Consumption is dependent on many factors. Jets have electronic fuel computers/calculators that compute fuel used, distance, navigation and fuel left, like some cars. If the computer doesn't work then the pilot (or co-pilot, every passenger jet must have a co-pilot, per FAA) can estimate fuel left. For the most part aviation gas gauges are not to be relied upon for fuel estimations.
Climb - 2950lbs / 15mins
Cruise - 5500lbs/hr
Descent - 600lbs / 20mins
Hold - 2650 / 30mins
Alternate - 1950 / 20mins
Min arrival fuel - 6300lbs
*Recommended arrival fuel - 8,300lbs (A plane must have 30 minutes of fuel during the day and 45 minutes at night, minimum, prior to arrival at airport destination per FAA regs.)
These numbers were based on a 27,000 lbs payload (approx 130pax plus bags)
Wing and fuselage center section tanks house 5,311 US gallons of fuel.
The basic gross weight 737-300, at a 124,500-pound take off weight, features a 1,625-mile range, while the high gross weight option, at 138,500 pounds, has a 2,260-mile range.
One (1) gallon of Jet Fuel A weights ~6.84 pounds per gallon at STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure = air at 60 oF at sea level).
