If you own a tower, anchor a component array for a day. 2000 batches of POS fuel blocks at a component array takes 2.54 days (109.7 seconds per batch). Which means that I can produce 787 hours of large tower fuel every day (32.8 days worth).
It's very much manageable and is not really impacting hi-sec slot production at all. |

However, I have been modifying my sell orders to keep up with current fuel prices. This way I can pad my profits for when I do have to go buy fuel again.
I'd go so far as to call you a bit of a newbie POS owner if you didn't keep at least 2-3 months of fuel on-hand to ride out peaks in the market. Or interdiction efforts, or bored null-sec pilot jihads, or the semi-annual HAG, or the normal insanity in the market or a bump in the supply chain. Or mostly, because when you have 4-8 months of fuel on-hand, you don't have to give a rat's tookus about scrounging for fuel any particular month if you don't feel like dealing with it.
Right now, I'm stocking up heavily on the PI fuel components which are nearing annual lows. Especially things like Robotics below 54k ISK/u, Mechanical Parts below 7500, Oxygen below 250.

That "bump" has been and gone and prices are back below 100 ISK/u. Cost difference for a large tower between 100 ISK/u and 25 ISK/u? Only about 8.5M ISK/30d.

Also peaked and falling back down. Jita price is 388 (peak was 450). Effect on a large tower? A large tower consumes 108,000 units of LOz per 30 days. For every 50 ISK/u change in the price, it changes the 30-day cost by 5.4M ISK.
The 30-day prices as of this morning (if you build your own fuel blocks from the underlying components):
Amarr: 88 / 175 / 347 - 12063 ISK/u
Caldari: 91 / 180 / 358 - 12440 ISK/u
Gallente: 98 / 194 / 386 - 13388 ISK/u
Minmatar: 102 / 202 / 403 - 13998 ISK/u
All of which are mostly down since last October, and about what prices were last summer. |
