If you run the furnace non stop, 30K BTU unit will consume aprox 1 gallon of propane every three hours.

Mostly, it will depend on the outside temperature and whatever the thermostat setting you choose to stay comfortable. Many use small ceramic heaters to supplement the furnace and that will reduce your usage of propane. Our Cedar Creek has an electric fireplace which takes the chill off most fall nights...... You'll figure out your individual usage over your first winter
