Default Fast ships are fuel hogs?

So wait, you've got a 2-engine Baseship and a 6-engine Escort, now the 6-engine escort uses the full supply use of every one of its engines for every sector it moves??? So the baseship is actually 3 times more fuel efficient... and an escort with 5 damaged engines is twice as efficient as the baseship??? This is weird, yet somehow almost right... at least with QNP where big ships also have more engines and so become fuel hogs as well... I would have expected something like the first move of a turn uses the engine with least supply usage, the second move uses the second best engine, etc...
