Yesterday I decide to try playing again with limited fuel. I was leaving Midway and was assigned to patrol around Shanghi. My sub (Balao class) used up over 50% of the fuel before even getting to my patrol area. I did most of my transit on the surface at "standard" speed.
What am I doing wrong where I used up so much fuel before even reaching my patrol area.

Your either going to fast or two slow. In an un-modded game best speed / range is typically around 9.5 knots. You can set this by clicking the tab under the speed telegraph then clicking the selected speed. Mods typically have a 'best speed' and is usually described in the mods documents. For instance in RFB best speed/range is ahead standard.
One other thing to watch out for is if your batteries get damaged, even if they get repaired will never take on a 100% charge and you will endlessly try to recharge them robbing you of mileage. You can manually turn off battery charching.

I'm using RFB and TMO. I've always felt that fuel usage was pretty high, even in stock. It really surprised me when I was past "bingo" and I had not reach my patrol area. I hadn't even used any fuel chasing ships yet.
Using "unlimited fuel" doesn't really bother me. I guess I'll have to keep using it.
