Does seed stitch use more yarn than garter stitch?

Does seed stitch use a lot of yarn?
Yarn Consumption: Though the constant alternating between knit and purl stitches produces a slightly tighter fabric than stockinette, seed stitch does not use significantly more yarn. It is not suited for variegated yarns or other colorwork, as the subtle patterning is lost in the color changes.
What stitch uses the least yarn?

Why is my seed stitch going wrong?
