In the last issue of flying magazine they did a review on the f-18.

After 1.25 hours a computer voice come over the intercom and said,
"bingo", to indicate a low fuel condition. 

The reviewer said the fuel lines must have been fire hoses. The
2,200 gallons of fuel lasted 1.25 hours with intermitent use of the
afterburners. On full afterburners the fuel would have been gone in
15 minutes.
