How many flushes?

I know this is not very technical but I just need to ask. We have noticed that our black water tank fills up rather quickly compared to our old one. The Jayco tank is 10gal. smaller I think. Have any of you counted how many flushes it takes to fill your tank? Granted some flushes may consume more water than others, and your also adding to the tank aside from the water but I was wondering if it's possible to gauge the level of the tank by the number of flushes? The better question may be " for two people , how long will it take to fill the black tank? A friend of mine would count the seconds when he fills his fwt. He roughly knows how many gallons he's put in. This is what led me to think about the number of flushes to fill the black tank.

I usually dump the black tank once a week and it is never full. My wife and I could easily go two weeks on a tank.
