Pretty sure the Lexus puts out peak HP at about 5200rpm in standard form, so the pitch & nozzle OD must be about the right match.

As I said indicative, worst I could get racing a bouy course was around 90 min.
More usually chuck the missus on the back and a picnic and cruise at 40-50mph all round abletasman and only use half a tank.....but factory spec at constant full throttle was 60l an hour.

I realise it depends on hull - load etc - but approx lph (or gph)

18-22Lph depending on how you drive it
