The problem is the "Min/max'er syndrome" . "OMG 2/3rds is the most efficient, so NOTHING else is viable!!!one111" That simply isn't so. Do you think a real submarine captain would travel at the same speed the entire length of a patrol? Mix it up, you'll be pleasantly surprised if you think about your fuel, and plan ahead.
Yeah.....I know. I never run out of gas.............

I just figured I'd chime in to make sure things are intentionally as they should be. Love the mod....... (Narwhal???? my pm??? )
