So in effect, you do get penalized slightly because it is using more supplies than it should. The standard engine using 10 supplies per move should only cost you for the first sector of movement. The remaining sctors should be free of any supply usage. But at least it's cheaper than 6 engines.

You're presuming 'Newtonian' propulsion again. If the propulsion system is not Newtonian, not a 'reaction' drive, but some sort of 'propulsion field' that must be maintained for the ship to move then supply usage would be constant.
