Im confused I came over on 2/3 speed refueled at midway and had only burned a quarter tank on the way, yet a half tank wont take me back is it the winds or rough seas, or is it an east to west current, I dont think Ive even been shot at so its not like im hulled and losing fuel, should I wait for calmer seas what? kinda confused why I made it here on less than half tank even with all my hunting but cant get back. maybe the coding for the otc range icon is wrong? dont think so pretty sure im gonna run out based on trying to get back and not making it before reverting to older save Thanks for any advise

P.S. I know how to go in and change fuel to false in cnfg file and get home by cheating but was kinda hoping to not have to do that. Thanks again

I've seen radically different range estimates based on the current weather. Are you currently in a storm with heavy seas? If so, wait until the weather changes to calm and click the icon again. I'll bet you have more than enough to get back then.
