I haven't played SHIII for over a year, but just installed it with GWX 3.0 Gold.

And I am here to tell you... those VIIB's sure are getting better gas mileage!

Seriously, I am 21 days out of port and have been at 7 knots 99% of the time. After doing a week on station in AM19, I thought I would see about running up St George Channel on the way home....

Asked the Navigator how much range I had left and his answer is 24,000 km.

That's nearly 13K nautical miles! And I have been out three weeks!

Is this a bug? An enhancement since GWX 1? Or do I have a Bernard on the boat?
