Is 117.4 g's accurate? If so, even if that occurs only during remote piloting, what's the fuel usage?

Accurate in Sci-Fi is a subjective term.
I think it is accurate according to the episode All that Glistens where the Eagle has to travel to and from a planet 2580000 miles away in under 4 days. with a 3 hour return window.
So to travel 2, 580,000 miles in under 46.5 hours (2 days) you would need to an average speed of average speed of 55,484mph, or 89,273kph.
After that is is a matter of using Distance, Speed time calculations to work out the acceleration.
It anyone has a copy of the constant acceleration formula and wants to test it, yet e know what you get. I think I did it right, but might have used the wrong formula. I'll check again tonight.
But then, this is a Sci Fi, show and data rarely hold ups to scrutiny. Especially from episode to episode. The Enterprise would never make it to all those star systems each week.
