My “trawler” has a theoretical hull speed of just under 10 knots. I’ve got two 1350hp V12 diesels.
At just under 9 knots I’m burning 40lph (10gph) giving me 0.85nmpg. If I bump up to ten knots my total consumption nearly doubles, dropping my efficiency to 0.5nmpg.
Or course if I’m in a hurry I cruise at 23 knots, you really don’t want to know the rate then...
