Ugh... I've run out of fuel (again!). The prices are bad, and I'm not very economical. Any strategies from y'all for saving fuel?

Buy fuel only from palmerston or fallen london. If you really need to, convert supplies to fuel. But never from corsair's forest or the khanate.

In the early part of the game, make sure you're doing reports on every port you pass by, and submitting them to the admiralty. Even after the first report for a given port, when you're not getting Admiralty's Favour points for that port any more, many of the ports will still give you fuel, as well as cash.

You only need half your crew slots filled with Zailors to run at full speed, but they consume Supplies slower that way. If you get We Are Clay (from Polythreme) on your starter Ship, you can run at full speed with 4 crew. This means that you need less supplies and, thus, can hold more fuel for long trips.
On my Corvette, I run with 6 crew, We Are Clay, and the Memento Mori in the Forward Slot. I take 8 Supplies and 24 Fuel when I want to go to the far end of the map. I then shoot down any ships or low-to-mid tier monsters and sell the excess supplies to the Sisterhood (I tend to get a ton of supplies off of ships). In case I feel unsure of my fuel supplies, I buy from Kahn's Shadow or Light Ships. If down south, Iron Republic, or if up North, from Mt. Palmerston.
