Engaging pedant mode, the in theatre Harriers/SHARs were burning AVCAT with FSII. As I remember it. AVCAT is/was around 2% more expensive than AVTUR (due to the different scales of economy). As mentioned by others, though, the cost of juice was largely irrelevant.
The supply of 1,000 bombs in the carriers was, indeed, finite but a similarly finite number of re-loads were available a RAS away in certain solid support RFAs. Re-supplying the re-suppliers, though, would not have been a piece of cake.
