Hi Dream Five I dont believe there are any difference in the fuel use anymore, when it comes to standard and faction towers. This is a text copy pasted from the dev. block Towers will use 1 block/hour for small, 2 blocks/hour for medium and 4 blocks/hour for large. The CPU and Power load will no longer have any impact on your fuel needs - all towers now need the same amount of fuel, regardless of configuration.
The one downside of this big-blocks approach is that it's impossible to give faction towers a fuel consumption bonus any more (you can't consume 2/3 of a block). We talked to some large-scale starbase operators about this, and they told us that the main bonus of faction towers for them is actually that they last longer between fuel cycles. To try and compensate for the increased running costs, we've taken the above bay size increases and added +25% bay size on top of that for the "tier 1" faction towers, and +50% bay size for the "tier 2" ones. We're hoping people will find that a satisfactory tradeoff, but we're listening for further feedback on this change.You can read the full block http://www.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=3029
Dedaf that got updated so your calculations may be wrong.

Each production run of fuel blocks will now take five minutes rather than ten minutes
Each production run of fuel blocks will now produce FORTY fuel blocks rather than FOUR
Fuel blocks are now 5m3 rather tha 50m3
Fuel blocks can now be produced in Component Assembly Arrays as well as Ammunition Assembly Arrays
Control towers will now use 40/20/10 blocks an hour for large/medium/small towers, up from 4/2/1 (matched by production increases)
Faction towers will no longer have a fuel bay capacity bonus; their bays will be 140k/70k/35k in line with standard towers
Faction towers will have a 10% fuel use reduction for "tier 1" towers and a 20% fuel use reduction for "tier 2" towers (compared to their standard tower equivalents), taking them to 36/18/9 and 32/16/8 respectively for large/medium/small towers
