WS/WW writ fuel costs vs. fuel paybacks

[Transen]

Since the amount of fuels needed per combine has changed, the tradeskill writs fuel payoffs have been off.  On my test-copied woodworker, the loss of coin on a tier 5 difficult rush order has been by at least 2-3 gold.  Another woodworker at tier 8 reported making more money back than the amount consumed from buying the fuels needed.Well, the topic is now officially feedbacked <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />Have a day. <img src="/eq2/images/smilies/1cfd6e2a9a2c0cf8e74b49b35e2e46c7.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" width="15" height="15" />

There were reports last night (for me, being in AUS) after the patch, which was suppose to fix fuel usage, in test.test that people were still seeing this cost discrepancy.
