Sorium fuel is the box of railway track that the cartoon cat is holding, frantically pulling some out and slapping it down in front of the toy train he's riding around the house. No matter how fast he goes (or how slow), there's only so much track in the box and he's going to run out at the same point.
Imagine that I combined a slow commercial ship with a fast military ship in a fleet.
I set them to move somewhere. The military ship will now move at the pace of the commercial ship.
What will happen to fuel consumption of the military ship compared to the same order given to the same military ship that would be alone in a fleet
(ie. will it consume less as going more slowly
or will it consume exactly as much fuel over the total distance because it's determined by its engine stats)?
