Hi I just patroled over to the americas in a type IXC and ran out of fuel on the ruturn journey, the thing is the patrol only lasted 52 days and I only went slow ahead which was about 8 knots to get to teh Hatteras area and then the same to patrol back I find it strange to have used all that fuel as i am pretty sure IXC's had enough fuel for quiet a stay over in the americas, the only time I ran up full speed was to overhaul merchants. Anyway I ran out of fuel mid atlantic so I had to exit the patrol and dock by using that method I would of much prefered going all the way back.
I am using the latest RUB and SH Commander. I saw in some posts
last week some guys were patroling for like 125 odd days as I use realistic fuel in the options menu I take it that they are not ?

Any sugestions ?

Cheers
