I believe most common was 5. Pilot, co-pilot, radio operator, navigator/top turret gunner, radar operator/tunnel gunner.

your right, to an extent. on long missions over the cold north pacific, fuel was the prime concern to locations such as the kurile islands & back to base in alaska, kiska attu, etc. those crews sacrificed plenty, food additional ammo, misc items / luxuries, all for the sake of not perishing in the that numbing cold water where you'd be ready for a zip lock bag within a 1/2 hour. 5 man crews were used on shorter range missions.
