GURPS WWII (p.148) goes into more detail on fuel consumption and maintenance interval at varying speeds. At "patrol speed" for aircraft (30% top speed), fuel consumption is only 1/4 normal. However, the trick is not dropping below stall speed in the process.
Hm. That seems unlikely for patrol speed; many aircraft have minimum fuel consumption at a fairly high fraction of peak speed. For example, a 747, at 40,000 feet, has minimum fuel consumption per unit distance at somewhere between 500 and 600 mph, and a max speed not appreciably above that.
Problem here is that the equations for power and thrust in Vehicles are wrong.
