I was really just trying to poke some humor at the people who decided they wanted to rant about the magazine because it didn't fit their ideas and requirements for what should/shouldn't be in the magazine. The oil thing was the first real topic that got expanded that allowed me to try to make the point I wanted to make. There is always somebody who isn't happy with something.
I don't pay for my fuel (well, except in rare occasions where I fly for personal reasons), as I'm a professional pilot who does this sort of thing for a living.
