True, but I'm pretty sure that ordering the engines to turn for 8 knots is still the most fuel-efficient setting, even if the weather state reduces your actual speed.
That said, I've never had a problem with making 10-12 knots on the way out and in, depending on how far off my assigned grid is; as has been said many times before, in GWX the last thing you should ever run out of is fuel. But I would hate to be out on patrol and realize that I only had enough fuel to make it home at 8 knots all the way if I started back immediately when I've still got plenty of ammo left and, in theory, could've found more targets for it if only I'd been more careful with my fuel consumption from the start.
