Yes, ~1/4 of used fuel is used for one cylinder (but not injected in one 
- it's injected to the air intake before cylinders;). Just multiply the 
~28,75cm with consumption (l/100km) and you'll get the average amount of 
fuel .

Just a side-note: given that IIRC your car is <2l naturally aspirated, 
I'd guess the maximum possible fuel used per minute per cylinder with 
original parts is somewhere around 200cc (the injector capacity), giving 
total of 0,8l/min. OTOH, that much is used rarely, basically only when 
revving with pedal on the floor at the rpm of maximum power.
