Fuel costs for towers is going up with the winter expansion.
Increases vary from no change on Robotics through to 4x on liquid ozone/heavy water/coolant.
Racial topes are approximately 3.5x

Relevant part of the dev blog pasted below:
8x Coolant 4x Enriched Uranium 400x relevant racial Isotope 4x Mechanical Parts 20x Oxygen 1x Robotics 150x Heavy Water 150x Liquid Ozone
Towers will use 1 block/hour for small, 2 blocks/hour for medium and 4 blocks/hour for large. The CPU and Power load will no longer have any impact on your fuel needs - all towers now need the same amount of fuel, regardless of configuration.
Compare the above with the current usage amounts. |

Maybe I am using that southern U.S. math again, but it looks to me like fuel costs are lower (except maybe HW and LO depending on your setup). Larges now take 5 less oxygen, 1 less mech part, and 50 less isotopes per hour. I give this a thumbs up!
Also, smalls and mediums use 1/4 and 1/2 a robotic per hour, respectively, which will significantly reduce the fuel costs on running them.

faction tower prices go down. no longer has the "Save you money over time" appeal to them anymore. with the extra storage, would be more useful in WH space though. |

You are aware that the Materials listed are required to build four Pallets?
The really noteworthy increases will be in LO/Heavy Water since they based the cost on a fully utilized Tower.

OP's math sucks and who in hell doesn't use all their grid and CPU? What has happened to MD? I swear when they moved the forum they took all your brains and gave them to zombies.

This has popped up everywhere it's hilarious...
The eagerness to manipulate markets gets the better of some of us sometimes 
EDIT: Lauren, you should go back to the dark haired look you know... would stop you from having blonde moments like this one! |

Not everyone uses up all of their CPU and Powergrid
Also, someone in SCC Lounge suggested that there's no point in trying to conserve your CPU/Power, might as well max it out once the new system kicks in |

Why can't we all just get along? Why do we have to have two different chats? |

Not like 99.99% of signature hangs in scc.

The requirements to operate most towers goes DOWN by quite a bit.
POS Fuel Changes (OLD -> NEW) [NO SOV] Coolant:8 -> 8 Mech Parts: 5 -> 4 Oxygen: 25 -> 20 Robotics: 1 -> 1 Enr. Uranium: 4 -> 4 Isotopes: 450 -> 400
POS Fuel Changes (OLD -> NEW) [SOV] Coolant: 6 -> 6 Mech Parts: 4 -> 3 Oxygen: 19 -> 15 Robotics: 1 -> 0.75 Enr. Uranium: 3 -> 3 Isotopes: 338 -> 300
Basically people are dumb and can't read. |

The poster of this thread wasn't talking about liquid ozone or heavy water, but to speculate it wouldn't be bad to invest in either at this point. |

You mean there's a market manipulator using impure math in my MD? And the way that math just happens to suck generates profit for them? OH THE HUMANITY!!
As an aside, I think the new fuel block system is probably the single biggest change in the expansion. It effectively increases the cost of running a faction POS by a considerable amount. I foresee these dropping a lot in price as a result. Also, I see yet more increase in the cost of R&D stuff (copying, BPO research, invention), because that's more often done in high sec and faction towers are more prevalent.

ozone and water are in fact going to to go up because now every tower in game will consume somewhere near its maximum possible intake per cycle no matter what you run on it so, if you had a tower that has just an SMA, corp hangar and a **** ton of guns, you are now using somewhere from 30x to 1000x more heavy water. vice versa for indy towers that run heavy cpu loads and light PG.
prices on these ice products are going to skyrocket due to the exponential growth in demand for them and a supply that will not be able to keep up. |

There was already a surplus of heavy water on the market (otherwise it wouldn't have been around 20 ISK/u). A bit less Liquid Ozone. But for a large tower, both of those combined was only 10% of the running cost of a tower per month (about 36M in total for a full PG/CPU load). So even if prices on them double, the cost of a tower only goes up 10%.
Overall, POS fuel costs are going to go *down* slightly (about 8% down for a large tower that previously used all of its CPU/PG). Small towers gained the most with a 20-30% reduction in operating costs. So again, even if fuel costs go up slightly, it ends up as a wash except that small towers will still end up cheaper.
(My bet for Jan 2011 is that a large tower will run about 400M/mo for fuel, maybe 450M/mo - which would be up from the traditional 300-350M/mo cost.) |

There is twice as much in ice than liquid ozone yet liquid ozone is also used for cynos. Heavy water has been the waste product of ice processing for so long that nothing short of a huge new demand will give it enough love to flush out all those stocks. People always jump on the heavy water bandwagon thinking the downside is minimal, but it will be 20 isk per unit again soon. |

You guys are forgetting that faction towers just got a 25% increase in fuel usage. Additional increase in demand.

I don't see that change sticking. If they switch to a more granular fuel pellet (1/100th the proposed size, change consumption to match) then they can easily give back the fuel savings of Faction/Sov. |
