Default Fuel consumption in 109

There seems to be something wrong. If I take up QM for a dogfight between 109s and [insert plane here], I always find that I am down to about 100 liters from max 400 liters really quick, in 10 minutes or so.

Even flying for 10-15 minutes at full power would not explain this. Fuel consumption of the DB 601 was about 330 liters PER HOUR at max output, the plane seem to swallow that amount six time faster.

Is the fuel consumption rate simply multiplied to give 'feel' of the actual battle over London or something is seriously off here..?
