Its not that hard to keep from running out of gas. Travel at the same speed while in transit, I always travel at "slow"...2/3s i think it is. When you are almost had half tanks, it stime to go home, if your not sure you have enough or if you want a buffer in case of bad weather and currents slowing you down, travel at 1/3. If thats just too slow, switch speed views and pick a speed in between 1/3 and 2/3s...for my porpoise thats 9kts. By keeping a consitent transit speed to and from your patrol station you know exactly how much fuel you need because the fuel burn is the same.
Stay away from standard speed or higher until you reach your patrol area or you are chasing down a target...they just burn too much fuel.
