I suggest you buy a fuel measuring set up like a Flo Scan and measure actually consumption (whiich varies with throttle setting, wave action, load, etc.) I did, and the thing has paid for itself many times over. All you need is one flowmeter--as I have--since you can monitor the other motor's fuel usage at fill up.

I was able to dramatically improve the gas mileage on mine, and also spotted a problem when a rope wrapped around the prop--the GPH went way up! Great tool.
