I topped off the tanks at Tulagi en route to the Bungo Suido on an insertion mission, reaching that destination with ~62% remaining, IIRC. At a position 300km 152 degrees SSE of Miyazaki, I had 52% remaining, so I set course for Exmouth Gulf via the San Bernardino and Makassar Straits. I was under 10% before I reached the first strait.

Going back to that same save point (52%), I instead set a course directly for Tulagi and avoided all combat. Nevertheless I was under 10% just 150km SSE of Guam. Only a little over 200 km NNW I had hit the 25% warning.

All speed settings after the 52% mark were at 2/3s impulse (this is all in stock 1.5). What's going on? Does the game model the Kuroshio and other currents or is this a fault of mine or a program glitch? I can't imagine why COMSUBPAC would send us on a mission of no return.
