How does the angel's share affect my costs?

The angel's share represents the volume lost to evaporation. You can use `get_cumulative_evaporation_loss` to see how much liquid is lost over time, which directly increases the required premium to break even.

Can I compare new and reused barrels?

Yes, the `compare_barrel_economics` tool allows you to compare the cost per liter of a brand new barrel against a neutral (reused) barrel to find efficiency gains.

What is the break-even premium?

It is the minimum price increase per liter needed to cover all capital expenditures and evaporation losses. Use `get_break_even_premium` to calculate this value.
