It would be nice if a warning (like the "you have new messages since your last visit") appeared for games where you were more squares away from your side of the board than you had fuel left to cover.
I keep forgetting it and finding I'm out of fuel - so maybe just a basic warning if you get to less than 10 fuel left.
It would make it harder to make a silly mistake
Then it would be a choice, go for the kill - risky as I know I will run out of fuel, or turn back now and let him escape but get home safe(ish).
That would simulate a GPS that computes your fuel expected consumption...
...they didn't even have fuel gauges at all!
For me, I developed am instinct that makes me look at fuel when I'm near red zone. Not infallible, but works most of time. I suggest you start doing that.
I try but my instinct is to look at the fuel gauge just at the point when I have about 2 fuel left - pretty much regardless of where on the map I am. I'm trying to train it - but a warning saying you have 10 or less fuel remaining (you can hear the engine sputtering a bit) would improve my play - and presumably the play of some of my opponents, so I think it might be good for the game - even if not accurate to the period.
