From B5 to sector 14 was a 4 hour round trip if memory serves, and the starfury never had to refuel.

Combat manuvering burns a hell of a lot more fuel than cruising. Remember-in the show the 'fury's engines were only burning when accelerating, decelerating or changing direction.

Fair enough.. though in my head a journey like that would involve accellerating till halfway, then starting decellerating.
