Try starting your car with a full tank. Don't drive it, just let it stand there and let the engine run. After a while you'll find the car is out of gas. You have travelled nowhere.
start again, full tank, drive 10 mph. When the tank is empty you'll have driven an X amount of miles.
Start again, full tank, drive 50 mph. Now when the tank is empty you'll have more miles than in the 10 mph setup.
Start again, full tank, drive 150 mph. With tank empty you'll not have the mileage as when driving 50 mph.
The fleet boats engines were tuned for the best mileage/gallon at 10 knots. So when you go faster, or slower your mileage will decrease.
