I am not exactly sure how much fuel I used for two for a 9 day canoe trip last month, I think it was roughly 0.8 liter of white gas (Coleman fuel). Two meals were barbeque.
I'm with you. Last year, two of toured for 8 days. We cooked four pretty eleborate dinners and then heated water to do dishes, boiled water for coffee seven mornings, and used fuel to start four campfires. We started with a full, 22 oz. fuel bottle and had a decent amount of Super Fuel (f/k/a/ White Gas) left over.
