Diesel Ranges for Balao

I'm going through my settings with an eye on realism.
I just noticed that the NSS_Balao.sim file
has the ranges for the engines set incorrect.

The submerged should be closer to 110 miles, if we take the 48 hours submerged for 2 knots as the possible range.

The surfaced was also set wrong, but I have three values to consider.
What I had was 15,000 miles at 10 knots. Seems long considering the book value on this is 11,000 at 10 knots.

TMO has it as 8,700 at 15.18 knots.

There doesnt seem to be (or I cant find) the efficiency consumption ratio at various speeds. So I cant compare what TMO has set to what I think should be set.

Anyone have any advice on the ratio or more info on how the surface range parameter works?
