By no means Melange is a fuel ! A ship with Holtzinger (sp.?, sorry) field can warp ro anywhere but it will be lost without a navigator breathing Melange.
I do no think "eating" is a right term. It's more like breathing in Navigator' case. "Normal" people drink melange, not eat it !
Off topic (sort of) When russians speak about consumming vodka, - sometimes we do not use the word "drink" but "eat" instead. Trust me
