Default Fuel efficiency?

I should remember this... but playing Open Horizons II these days and cannot recall exactly what transit speed gave us the best fuel mileage. Can someone please remind this poor ol' absent minded buffoon what the best travel speed is again?

Thanks in advance!

ask the navigator, to find max.range @ current speed, and you'll get that number
