Default Generalisations: Fuel Efficiency

For those of you who have used the fuel flow meters what do you think about
fuel efficiency?

For a planing boat, which is more efficient, motoring at 3-5 mph (no wake)
or motoring at the lowest speed that allows the boat to plane?

Is the lowest speed that allows the boat to plane the most efficicient
planing speed or is there a sweet spot somewhere between planing and WOT?
