MTU series 2000 V16 fuel usage figures

Would anybody be able to give me some estimated fuel usage figures for the below settings using MTU series 2000 V16 1800 Hp engines running in a 72 foot sports fisher.

Low idle 530 RPM …. 5,4 Knots

730 RPM ……………. 7,4 Knots

800 RPM ……………. 8,0 Knots

900 RPM ……………. 9,0 Knots

At 1000 RPM it reportedly burns 21 gal per hour at 10.5 Knots
Thanks Tom

The fuel usage is high at 1000 rpms......I'm thinking more like 45gph. It's been a while since I ran 16v2000's at those speeds. Low idle should be around 10 gph (both engines) normal idle 16gph. 800rpm's 28 gph, 900 rpm's 35gph. These are just guesses from memory. These are for the 2000hp version.

Correction

Hi Capt J
Sorry about that it's 80 liters an hour = 21 gallons- sounds better
