Open Des,

Please excuse my ignorance, I'm just curious:

I also thought that green dot would be minimum fuel. What makes it impractical?

True that cost index mimizes cost, by weighing the cost of fuel against time-dependent costs. My understaniding is that CI=0 minimizes fuel, there are no time-dependent costs. Am I wrong?
