Based on this table and the research done on this excellent website:

I am wondering why almost every type of ships are consuming 1 in the game.

Even comparing with WPE, the oil usage distinction was more clear.
SUB: 1 oil use
DD: 2 oil use
CA: 2 oil use
CV: 3 oil use
BB: 4 oil use

In WPP, there is no distinction between a DD group and a CV group. No distinction between a CVL group and a CV group. No distinction between a BB group and a CV group.

Is there no need to distinguish this?

As stated on the above website, oil was a determining factor to not engage heavy ships in the Solomons on Japanese side.

Simplifying and adapting to WPP, I would propose the following:

SUB: 1 oil use
DD: 1 oil use
CA: 1 oil use
BB: 2 oil use
CV: 2 oil use
CVL: 1 oil use
Patrol: 0 oil use
Transport: 0 oil use

The scales are different between both games.
