yeah CI 0 doesn’t really save any gas and the longer the flight is the more gas you’ll make at CI40-65. I’ve had to tech stop on the NEO and MAX. But out of hundreds of flights to the islands I’ve only had to do it 3 times in total. All three were due to hyper conservative fuel planning and new rails with no historic ship specific fuel burn data. Longest I’ve had going to KOA was 6:58. I’m more a LIH/OGG guy anyways.
