Title: Fuel Supliers
Post by: Flightman on July 10, 2011, 07:37:03 AM
I have 3 different fuel suplier to choose with.

1. Aviation Energy Service
Discount    -3.7% from daily market prices
Monthly feeMonthly fee    323 300 USD
Contract lengthContract length    2 years 8 months

2. Jet Petro
Discount    -3.4% from daily market prices
Monthly feeMonthly fee    228 300 USD
Contract lengthContract length    2 years 3 months

3. Standard Gas Group
Discount    -6.5% from daily market prices
Monthly feeMonthly fee    96 000 USD
Contract lengthContract length    2 years 6 months

My quesition is that why number 3. Is so much better than the numbers 1 and 2?
There is no other smart options than Standard Gas Group? Or is there something
that im not getting?

I could imagine that if u get discount of -6.5% from fuel prices u should pay bigger mothly fee?
Now example Standard Gas Group beats Clearly number 1 and 2 in all aspects.  Number 3 offers fuel -6.5% and mothly fee is only 96 000USD and
others have much bigger mothly fee and offers only 3.x% discount of fuel prices.

All 3 have allmost same contract lenght?

This should probably be in bug reports. As far as I know, it's not suppose to work this way  :o.

No, not a bug. Why should it?

The prices and discounts are randomized for each company on certain intervals.

But where is the fun about that? Nothing to do expect to wait till that becomes profitable, and then pick the number three..

But the same offer may not be there all the time.  And contract lengths may be different...
