There are single and double Colemans, the double has a much larger fuel tank which could last a few days.
Coleman give a burn time of about 2 hours with both double burners on full.
The single is more powerful than one of the burners on the double so after about an hour it will probably need filling. I used to top ours up every other day with light use.

I camped on my own for 6 nights for my last trip, and used my Coleman Dual Fuel 2-burner stove to cook 5 cooked breakfasts (3 fry ups, 1 x 2 French Toasts with bacon, 1 x bacon sandwich), 1 steak dinner, and 1 lot of soup with 2 slices of toasts.
And I usually use both burners at the same time.
I used about 1L of Coleman Fuel for the lot and still with some left in the tank.
Just bought another litre bottle of Coleman Fuel for my last trip this year in September, and it should be sufficient to last the trip.
Going through 5L of Coleman Fuel in 5 days does sound rather excessive. Therefore, I suspect there may be something not quite right with the fuel tank.

Slightly gatecrashing, I'm pleased at this post as it's reminded me to empty our fuel tank as I doubt we'll be using it again this season.
I have a few rust spots too, so will bring it in from the garage I think to overwinter somewhere cosy.
