LMH don't use fuel flow anymore, power/torque curve is mandated by bop and max power is in the range of 670-700hp. Unlike GT500, fuel efficiency and in general fuel consume isn't a problem anymore since max stint is given by a max amount of allocated energy a stint measured through torquemeters placed on shaft/shafts... as consequence of this absolute value taken as reference, it doesn't matter how much fuel a car consumes as long it stays in that limit (infact toyota and glickenhaus have similiar stint length but toyota manages to do that with 20lt smaller fuel tank).
Actual GT500 cars should be in the range of 90kg/h, something more something less according to regulations or to success handicap system, years ago when they were close to 100kg/h they had power close or above 650hp... it's impossible to say current power output but I think that despite a decreased fuel flow rate, toyota and honda NRE engines are still in that range of power since they constantly upgraded their pre-chamber ignition technology across the years.
