Play with the Cost Index. The FMC will then change the ETA and arrival fuel. We are flying with a CI around 15 most of the time. ECON descent is commonly around 252 knots IAS. This is slow, but it brings the descent point further back from the destination or first constraint. Of course, there are occasions when the ECON descent is not practical.
