Again correct, but "TO consume" (verb) is not the same word as "THE consumption" (noun). E.g. "THE consumption is high on the left engine, look at that fuel flow it's up to 3 tons per hour".
Not in correct English it isn't.

If that were true, the term "Rate of consumption" would be a tautology.

It isn't.
