Fuel blocks vs old pos fuels (saving time?)

In my honest opinion changing the pos fuel to block is an ok Idea, however when I research the ME on the bpo to 120 and cant get the material for say hydrogen Isotopes below 400 units per block, all i am seeing is using much more fuel for the same time frame. couple that with the rising prices for the fuels in general and the extra step in making the blocks I don't see any advantage to changing it. I will use the example for Hydrogen as I used before, researched bpo to 80 and got it to 400 went to 120 and still at 400, (for Hydro) so basically it takes 120,000 units to fuel a large pos for 7 days roughly little more but 7 for postarity sake. while filling my Prowler with 58,000 units would take it to just over 5 days, just saying that there is a lot more fuel going toward the pos than really should be, hmm but what ever I guess that is the nature of eve, make it rediculous expensive to do anything to make isk. especially if the pos is not in itself generating moon materials and used for static corp activities.

The advantage is more for those POS operators that want to run a maxed out CPU and PGrid. The days of having a large POS and only using one or two modules is over.

By the way, since we're already talking, do you want to buy a rifter? I've got the cheapest rifters in Metropolis. If you can find a cheaper rifter, buy it!

Perfect ME is 40. It is getting more expensive (Maybe, since the usage of everything but LO/HW is going down). But it's stopping me from forgetting Coolant (it's *always* Coolant), so I like it.
