Ive always found my range esitmated range at 3 knots is a lot less then it is at 9 knots, even though Im burning much less fuel.

The reason I say this is because Ive noticed the Navigator gives you the most range at ~9knots, but if you go to 3 knots your esitmated range is quite a bit lower even though you're burning a lot less fuel. At 3 knots you can stay on your patrol area for a long time, but you wont get very far at that speed?

I imagine endurance and range to be two different things?

If that makes any sense?
