Well thats my second and last try. Same situation ahead slow 1/4 tank to get there on the dot. Patrolled my station and killed almost 25 ships although 12 were junks. Mission finally completed and turn for home with exactly 48% fuel left.

Head for home at ahead slow and run 438 miles short of midway!

In the Balao ahead standard gives you 16 knots and eats fuel like no other
ahead slow gives 11 knots and seems the best compromise.

Is it a current im fighting? Strong westernly winds? I dont get how I can put there and use little gas but putting home it burns it like a bonfire!
