The weight of the empty bottle should be on it somewhere, can't remember the tare weight, the 907 holds 2.7Kg of gas so if you weight it and subtract the tare weight from the actual weight you will know how much gas is left in the bottle

That said, i would expect a 907 to last at least a couple of weeks running a double burner, with normal use

Edit: (after having a think) 

Contains 2.75 Butane

From memory 3.7kg or 3.75kg empty cylinder

Approx 6.5kg full cylinder?

Just been and had a look at mine. It's 3kg empty, so should weigh 5.7kg when full.

We have a 7kg bottle and usualy lasts the year with bbq and cooker and endles cups of tea..... but depends how many times you go away.

Most sites will do gas exchange or not to far from somewhere that does it.

The last site did not have gas exchange but made a phone call and we had one dell from a local supply only an extra £1;50..

When we had our TT our 907 would last us about 10 days. with just the 2 of us.

Our 907 lasts a season minus one day - it always runs out on our last trip - we camp for just under 4 weeks a year and are a family of 4.

The smart answer is it depends how much you use it.  Camping Gaz bottles have the tare weight (empty weight) stamped on the bottom rim so it you can weigh it you can subtract that weight and know how much is left.  A lot of people say a 7Kg will last them over a season if we caravan in the winter it will lastus about 4 nights as I said at the start it depends how much you use it

According to the Camping Gaz website the camping chef will run six and a half hours on a 907 bottle with both stove and grill on, 8 hours with just the stove.  Also says it takes about six and a half minutes to boil a litre of water although that will depend a bit on ambient temperature of course.
