It's a fine line. Every 100 gallons of Jet A we carry we need another 20 gallons just to truck it along. Once we did get out of PHL my captain and I were trying to figure out if all the fuel/money saved by not tankering large amounts of gas came out ahead compared to the times when they guess wrong and time/fuel is wasted going back to the gate. A year to year or even month to month view it would be interesting to see.
