I am sorry you were unable to answer. There is dissonance for you because the macroeconomic effect on the local price you pay for a global commodity and the cost of distribution does not square with the microeconomic model you apply in isolation.Frankly at this point I don't see what the military's fuel consumption has to do with the price I pay at the pump. The military is not short on petroleum, they have all they need. We have a government induced supply problem. We have all the petroleum we need here on this continent, we just don't go get it for political reasons.
I live 30 miles from the local refineries, I should have the cheapest gas in the country, and yet I have on average the most expensive gas in the country.
I suggest that you find some property with mineral rights and some petroleum to extract, set up a small refinery for your own needs, and then you can perhaps achieve the energy independence or low cost you seem to want.
