How Many Miles Per Gallon Does An F-35 Actually Burn At Full Afterburner?

Asking a Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II fighter jet to fly at sustained high Mach speeds is something it can technically do, but it is not something it was especially built for or optimized around. The aircraft is mostly a subsonic "ninja," quietly sensing the battle space and creating a "god's eye view" and passing that awareness to other aircraft and systems.
