Found in 2015:
modern 2 litre engine no-load idle: 0.16 USgall per hour or roughly 0.6 l/h
4.6 litre V8: 1.5 l/h

Source (not for those who are easily offended).
And a follow up.

A little more scientific:
Here's the report.

Quick'n'dirty:



Your 122 with carbs likely consumes more, but by how much would be hard to guess. The closer it idles to the ideal 14.7 : 1 air/fuel mix, the closer it gets to those figures. A guess: I'd say between the compact and large sedan.
