@TheTLMguy, I do state that this was just an idea of the bare minimum needed to reach those two thresholds (top score and top 200). ANYTHING less than perfect means even more fuel/money. Go back and read the third paragraph of my post. That's the point of this exercise - to show just how much some of these people are spending to lock up the top spot. I would prefer to get a  more exact idea of how much they've actually spent, but short of watching and recording every one of thier matches, this is the best I can do.

Also, I am specifically talking about the TDM. There  is no mission update component in TDM. CO-op uses a different points system I haven't fully figured out yet, which leaves me only able to guess how much one would spend in a Co-op event. Delving a little into behavioral psychology, one can imagine that anyone who was willing to spend that much on last week's TDM for Cipher's plane is likely to be similarly inclined to do it again for the arguably bigger prize of Yellow-13/Mobius 1/Razgriz should those also be tournament prizes, whether Co-op or TDM.
