Exactly - That is the point I was making. Trying to do your still water hull speed when running against the current will eat up extra fuel. Its a no-brainer.


This is when the old pitot tube speed indicators are handy to to judge a steady efficient cruising speed. (although they don't give an accurate "land" speed)
