Offhand, i don't think it can. Fuel or battery consumption seems to be a result of RPM"s. The more RPMs, the faster the energy loss. The only thing i can think of, is to maybe change the engines power. Im not sure, but i think engine power might be relating to how much energy it draws in order to run. Reduce the engine power, maybe you'll reduce the fuel needed to run it. Sounds funky, but remember theres still a "top speed" variable to play with. In theory if you lower its power, and increase its top speed you've made it more efficient.
