Many thanks for all the replies. Compared with F-76, how expensive is
JP-5?
http://www.sd.fisc.navy.mil/FUEL/FUEL-INFOR-PAGE.HTML
JP-5 $1.03/gallon
DFM $0.98/gallon (DFM is Diesel fuel, Marine, another term for F-76)
That's roughly 5% difference. It may not seem like much, but considering
the Navy's overall fuels budget, it can really add up.
Is there any official move in the RN or USN to adopt JP-5 as a
single universal fuel?
Not that I've ever heard of.
