Default Relation of speed to fuel consumption, displacement

Does anybody know what relation there is between fuel consumption of a
displacement hull and its speed?
Is this linear, quadratic or something else? To make it more concrete,
say you have a consumption of 60l/h at cruising speed. Would you then
e.g. see 30l/h at half the cruising speed and 15l/h at 1/4th the
cruising speed or would it be more, or less?

TIA, if you prefer (also) email amulder(AT)rootshell.be
