Since Econ cruise is "adaptive" -- it changes speed/burn with change in wind -- it would require a specific flight planning program that has all those data programmed in.

Even airline Dispatchers can only get a fuel burn for a particular flight by plugging in all the variables, and then doing a "what if" scenario of changing variables.
