The USN was the best when it came to fuel efficiancy, especially when it came to their more advance ships. The South Carolina, South Dakota, and the Iowa all consumed less fuel than the Colorado class at a equal cruising speed, even when they outweighed them by almost 20,000 tons more. This only got better as the war went on, with Iowa becoming around 10% more efficant with her fuel consumption at higher speeds(Her sisters would trump her in this regards, with them becoming around 15% more efficent post war).

However, this game does not always base a ship's performance on reality. I seriously doubt they would want the second most powerful BB in the world to be less of resource hog than the much older Nagatos or Fusos.
