pretty close no matter which boat you choose. the last six classes are virtually identical in their fuel usage.
keep in mind, this is NOT real life, it is in the game.
i suspect that you can monkey-around with the usage by varying the Propulsion factors in the boatclass.Sim file but why waste the time.
One of the many things I hate about stock. TMO corrects this to reflect reality. Ie Standard speed brings the Gato/Balao about 15.5 knots for cruising to and from patrol area with proper fuel economy so do not have to sail the open ocean at harbor speed.
