I was low on fuel once while in Asiatic fleet - it's getting harder since your base is getting further and further away.
So, I used all my fuel about 600nm from refuel port.
Periscope depth, 1kth, got to 500nm that way.

Now the fun part starts.
It seems you can run electric engines at 1kth without power or gas to recharge the batteries as long as you have O2!
Sure, it took me about 3 weeks to get back to that port and had to surface from time to time to prevent my crew from suffocating, but I saved myself a patrol if not a career.

I'm running 1.4 with TM (1.7.x) + RSRDC
