10 knots : 19125
So for my type VIIB it seems to be 8 knots.
Can I safely always use 8 knots ? It never changes ?

The range seems to peak out at 8 knots for a type VII and it appears not to change. I've done the same thing you did for each type of boat I've sailed and recorded them for future reference. It's one of the first things I do when I set out on patrol with a new type of boat.
IIRC, 8-9 knots seem to be the most economical speed for most boats.
