Can anyone agree or come up with a different value?
Your logic works for the European use of GPU's. I try to use them on SFO/LAX-SYD and therefore my numbers are higher.
-However you cannot compare a V,W fare - as on a buy up you can travel on a less expensive fare.
Since I would not travel on the route except in business, I compare the the cost of economy + buy up to discounted business (Z,P).
