Thanks gents for all that info..

>> you should be able to make it back to australia on one-third speed from PI on 33% fuel. <<

Actually, that's right...I ran out of fuel just about 50-60 nm out from Freemantle. However, on the return try to Australia, I submerged from a contact around Indonesia, and then started for port again...except I forgot to surface and ran for some distance at P depth..burning up unnecessary reserves. Had I not made that "bonehead" move, I would have made it back to port on the 33% remaining fuel.

Love this sim btw..lots of depth to it..no pun intended.
