I am working on a project to compare the fuel burn of CRJ200s, ERJ145s, Saab340s and ATRs (42s and 72s). Obviously the turboprops burn less fuel, but I want to understand exactly how much less. I would really appreciate any information on average hourly fuel burn on any of the noted types. Also - would love to get any other operating information. If you have flown the type - was it generally reliable or was it always in the hangar. Many thanks in advance.

What I remember (I think) specifically was that the 200 burned about 40lbs a minute in the hold. That's what I remember using as a calculator for how long I could hold. It was reliable but it sucked. Sucked bad.

Ugh, people can't just give a straight answer.
CRJ-200: 1550pph per side in cruise, ~3100pph total.
The only turboprop I know, Q400: 1250pph per side, ~2500 total.

From my poor fuzzy memory
BE-1900 19 pax ~500-550lb/hr (1000-1100lb/hr total)
Emb-145. 50 pax ~1250-1300lb/hr in cruise (2500-2600lb/hr total)
Crj-700 65 pax 1600lb/hr in cruise (3200lb/hr total)
320NEO 182 pax 2000-2200lb/hr (4000-4400lb/hr total)
320CEO 182 pax 2400-2600lb/hr (4800-5200lb/hr total)
of course it varies by aircraft load cruise altitude cruise speed etc but those are rough averages from what I've seen.
Maybe you are looking for the cruise performance tables?

@ASpilot2be can give Saab numbers. Sadly it's been long enough where I've forgotten.

I still bring that one up in recurrent a few times a month... mainly because I was the last FO to survive flying with that captain.
Stall? Upset? PUSH! Do not pull!
Many other factors with that one as well, of course.

Not familiar with any of those but if you want to add the Dash 8-200 and -300 to your comparison about 1600pph in cruise seems to be normal.

That one involves working the numbers from the rear.

The SAAB 340 averages about 1000lbs per hour.

If you are good at math, you can figure out the Saab fuel burn care of Silver's design firm.

That is amazing for a 34 seater. That's 1900 territory.
