There's a name for this by the marketing weenies but I forget. How much does it REALLY cost them?
Why not check why the usage is so great? Is this typical? Have they been using bio D or cheap fuel? Additive affecting the equilibrium? Who knows?

I think it's a little premature to criticize, until more facts are out.
