Not really... All things considered (your flights have a LOT more "WOT" than mine, so far you have been running fairly high RPM, and "a few mins back-up" is difficult to quantify) I don't think your Boxer is particularly thirsty.
Keep in mind that I am slightly autistic WRT numbers, so I measure...Maybe not with the accuracy of a swiss clock, but still...
I am guessing your engine consumes about 200 ml with 15 minutes of your flying style, mine does that with 8 consecutive tows, which all things considered is not that different from your typical "15 minutes of flight". I would not worry about it, because I can assure you, these engines are fairly consistent WRT fuel consumption, and would it really be guzzling, you would allready have complained about the humongous amounts of crud on the plane...
