Going to have to disagree here. At least to the reasonably accurate comment.

I have no hard numbers but Im pretty sure that the sailors dident have to slog around the atlantic at 8 knots in order to be able to get back home.

The fuel quantity seems to be some arbitrary number eg 50 out of 100 means half full tanks. But what is 100 ? Is 100 a greater quantity on a Balo vs an S class ?

Now that Ive said that perhaps its not the amount of fuel but rather the rate of consumption. Im sure that can be modded.
I've commented before that the ranges in-game are much greater than the real boats. One of the dev team confirmed that they gave the subs greater ranges so we could transit at higher speed to avoid excessive travel times to the patrol zones.
