Default Fighters in T2K - fuel consumption

I'm fully statting out the F-16 Fighting Falcon, and have run into one realization and one difficulty:

1) Aircraft with afterburners will need to have two Acc (Acceleration) figures -- one in military power, and one for when the burners are lit.

2) I can easily come up with a "standard" fuel consumption, but light those burners again, and fuel consumption increases astronomically. That's the one I'm having difficulty with. An F-15C Eagle, for example, can go to bingo fuel in less than 20 minutes in afterburner -- and a fighter pilot may go in and out of afterburner several times in a tough fight. I can't figure out how to stat that kind of fuel consumption.
