Arctic vs Fuel (cash)

[Bob_Ferret]

This is just some working out I have done. I thought I would share to help others out.

Just remember there is not much data and therefore not as accurate as I would like, if other people have done this before, let me know.    or if you want to go ahead and make a better one.  Thanks

Nice to see this.
What i sayd when people asking me what give more money, artic or fuel?
3 dest fuel = +/- $18000     $18000:3=  $6000 (each destination)
3 missions artic = 3x +/- $6000  = $18000
So fuel didnt give more money but it looks that you get more because you get in 1 time more money, in the same time you can do 3 artic missions and you get the same money. If you failed a 3 dest fuel mission you missed $18000, if you failed an artic mission you missed $6000.

I always knew artic convoy gives more money than fuel,but im surprised that even artic solo gives more

You can't compare 3 dest fuel to 3 artic missions, because in artic mission you have to load each time, so you travel between 6 points in an arbitrary order. in fuel mission you travel between 4 points and once you load you can visit the rest of checkpoints in any order.

There are heaps of variables but all up I think they are roughly the same, after taking in the risk of noobs running you off the road with  25k loss instead of just 6k.
I guess it up to you.    Thanks for the feed back guys.

coach mission: WC Airport to Bayside X 2 = ~12000 each = ~24000
3, 4, or 5 dst fuel mission = ~240000

so compare these two, you could comparitivly make more the same as artict in coach as well

With arctic in convoy you make fast money and fuel is booring..

[Nagy_Sanyi]

With arctic in convoy you make fast money and fuel is booring..

But fuel convoy is fun,true we cant do it officially,but technically its possible

[Deff]

So overall the payout is same for both ?

[DeHavilland]

I knew this for long time ago that you earn more cash with artic!

[Ethan]

longer trips in artict also give you more money.. (example) artict mission from WC AP to Bayside lets say gives you 12000
lets say a 5 (five) destination fuel run gives you 25000

do 5 artict missions at the same example rate of 12k = 60000
do 2 5 destination fuel runs at same example rate of 25000 = 50000

you earn more money in artict (known fact) but you would also get the 5 points, as with fuel you do 10 dst, and get 2 points.

But don't forget 5 Arctic missions include 5 trips to load, and 5 trips to unload.  Those loading trips add up after a while.

Does it realy matter how much you get from a load?
Dudes i play this game for fun so it doesn't matter how much i get paid
i did like 300 artic missions with my dune and that didn't pay much but i had more fun than that other 200 missions with rt + trailer
So i would say to you  don't think about that money!
if you like fuel do fuel! if you like artic do artic missions! that's the easy way to think!
