If you think you might be short on fuel , submerge at daybreak, and surface at 0 hour to recharge bats. Run your diesals as little as possible. Usually i'll do this to clear biscay bay. Atlantic crossing is done on the surface (only sane way really), once you get into the carribean, you'll spend most of your time underwater, and about 4/5 hours a day on the surface.
Running on batteries does not save fuel!
It takes up much more fuel to recharge the battrys!

It does prevent air attacks, but does not save fuel at all!
