Burn time (white gas) per 600ml / 20 oz. of fuel 110 minutes and Water boiled (white gas) per 1 oz. of fuel 1.3 liters.

I can prolong that by depressurizing the fuel bottle slightly. I found on average I ran the stove about 20 minutes a day if mainly using it for boiling water. So I always figured and average of week on a tank of fuel.
