If you use SH3 Commander, you can set your patrol grid to whatever you think is appropriate or realistic or fun (the choice is up to you).
8.25 is only the optimum speed for the type VII if time is an issue.
If time is not an issue, which it almost never is in the uboat war, the slowest speed eats the least fuel and is the most "efficient".
For example, in WWII Reinhardt Hardegan spent 23 days crossing the Atlantic practicing maximm fuel efficiency. Yet he had the fuel to make the return trip in only 10 days.
In regards to fuel, the goal should be to keep your boat at sea for 56 days if possible.
