There's a tunable TSFC number that you can play with. The engine model isn't smart enough to vary fuel consumption with condition (real engines have variable TSFC's under different situations). But as long as the number used is correct for cruise there shouldn't be too much difference over a long flight.
You could also check the throttle setting in the cruise parameters. I think I have most of them at 100% right now (max speed numbers, as opposed to cruise numbers), lowering that should lower overall drag and improve cruise-regime fuel consumption. As always, the best numbers to use are ones from a POH, if anyone has them.
