I found that 9 knots in a VIIB and 8 knots in a IXB seem to be the most fuel efficient. TC, X128 over distance, but keeping down to X64 or lower when nearing a possible contact. Too much TC near a convoy and you could end up too close to avoid being spotted by the escorts by the time the watch crew see it.
