A question, in TNE how much fuel is used for a micro-jump in a system?
And it still takes a week?

Micro jumps, like all jumps take a week. In terms of fuel consumption, I've always played it that they take a week's worth of fuel a) it keeps the math simple; b) I've always assumed that there is a minimum amount of energy required to enter hyperspace and that just so happens to correspond to the amount required to do a jump-1; c) whatever additional hand waving is necessary to give people peace of mind.
Yes it always takes a week which when you do the math of how long it takes
a heplar drive to get from one orbit to another especially the more outter
orbits are 6-8 days is actually quick by comparison and cost of fuel.

If the world was fair then every bad thing that has ever happened to you
would have been deserved.

Many people have already responded to this, but in case my perspective
matters, a microjump is a J-1 in all parameters (time and fuel) except for
distance. Entry into J-space is quantized, but you can do the exit point
sub-quantum.
