Having fun slowly expanding. Quick couple questions:

- every 30 days a lot of money disappears (huge amount that pretty much puts me in crippling debt), I suspect it's taxes or some other reoccurring cost, but I just see no mention of it in the finance tab. 

- is it possible to have a fixed profit margin on fuel?

Hey,
Yea it is usually taxes, or penalties , I have set to reduce it in my next version. (I noticed that as well around day 240, I was building up enough money and then bang.

Do you mean as the button says 10% but rounds to 9.2% ?
