If only I had a record of the max LY jump pre-1.3 to compare.

Where does the ED Shipyard guy get his data? He (or she?) should know.

Good point, right now the shipyard states that the jumps should take 7.5T fuel, basically 1/4 of my fuel.
I'll have to wait until tonight to see if it's accurate.

Oh ok so its only when you add fuel tanks.

Actually, I think fuel tanks have nothing to do with burn rate, if that's what you mean.

I never used to notice when the fuel bar moved (the one for SC). I have noticed the SC fuel bar moving now for both my Python and my Cobra, neither have extra fuel tanks.

Apparently they weren't calculating it properly before.

Oh it's THAT excuse again.

me to i feel like it's burning more fuel but only in SC (around 50% more)

it's not gonna change anything to anyone, since only jumps are fuel expensive and they are not touched anyway

Is this a known bug? I know the changelog mentioned changes when using multiple fuel tank but I saw nothing about problems with just 1 tank fitted. The reason I'm asking is because I am sure my anaconda is burning twice the fuel than before. I'm sure it was using 1.x/h and now uses 2.6/h and it feels I am getting less jumps per tank.

Can anyone else confirm this, or am I going bonkers?

Have you used too much fuel? Are you stuck in deep space and unable to get to a scoopable star or station?

Do not be troubled, just call the Fuel Rats

I ran the route last night, and the fuel burn rate for jumping seems to be the same.
As mentioned by others, it is indeed the SC which is now running at approx 2(T?)/hr that has risen.
