How long does 1 gallon of gas operate your chainsaw for?

I'm trying to plan out how much gas I'll be using for my chainsaw (Husqvarna 455). My operating conditions will probably be different than yours but I'm wondering in general if 1 gallon will be enough for a day or if I should bring 2 gallons for a days use.

    Bring 2 gallons of mix. You cant tell how long you will be running full throtle. Dont forget the bar oil, too. You can always bring the leftover fuel home, but you cant always run out to get more.
    Bring a spare chain and saw tool as well.

    we go through 2 gal/3hours cleaning storm damaged trees and downed limbs & trees
    remember to mix , take repair tools, extra chainsaw blade, cleaning tool, canned air is good to have.
