What did the UK pay for fuel delivered to the Black Buck Ops in those days?

The pump price in Blighty has naught to do with the price of fuel at the Forward Operating Base, costs to provide that inflight fuel to the Tankers and the Attack Aircraft.

Cost to Benefit has never been a real consideration in War.

The point he was making as I recall reading it....was to show how much more effective the use of Tactical Assets in the Falklands was to the Black Buck Raid with all of its complexity.

Seems your point about .92 P a unit is a bit useless.

If you are going to attempt to criticize his views.....do find something better than that can't you?
