I'll echo the others, roughly .75gph. On a trip coming down the St. Lawrence from Toronto in 2010 we burned about 370 litres to motor for about 135 hours on the engine hour meter = 2-3/4 litres/hr. or US 3/4 Gallon per hour (0.726 US gallons/hour actually).
Our boat (39' 6" LOA) burns between 2-2/3 and 2-3/4 litres of fuel per engine hour at about 2400 RPM so about 6 to 6.5 knots. That is with a 2001 model year Yanmar 3 cyl, 47 hp turbo diesel.
