Little hint here for everyone: use Ahead Standard when cruising to and from your patrol zone. With the current test build of RFB, with the Gato, I average 11,300 nautical miles max range when cruising at this bell (set to 10 knots in the mod), which is exactly what the sources say the Gato performed to. I can get to and from Midway out to the southeastern coast of Japan and be able to complete a 40-50 day patrol with no problems.

Cruising at ahead 2/3rds or Ahead Full will waste both fuel and time.
