I've got the flight manual for one, and I think the fuel flow charts back that up - to a degree.
If they're short of fuel getting from A to B, the way to fix that is to push the throttles up and go faster. They're designed to be most efficient at M 3.2, but "At the discretion of the Commander M 3.3 is authorised".
