I'm not sure I understand the question.

If you mean fuel flow meter, that's just a measurement of the fuel
flowing to the engine which translates to gallons per hour (gph).

Has nothing to do with GPS - the functions are all an internal
calculation by firmware which can be displayed in a variety of ways
including miles per gallon based on the gallons per hour data.

Thanks for the rapid information Vic and to all the others who have posted
interesting comments here

The gps input helps measure the actual speed made good over the ground which
is needed for calculation of best speed for fuel consumption in litres/km
relative to the ground which is what I'm interested in (ie starting and
ending points of my trips are attached to the earth!)
