Oil is XP, and XP is the longest pole in everybody's tent...at least until people start maxing out their tanks.

That should be enough said, but if it isn't, when using oil to get XP, you also have chances to get emblems. The more oil, the more chances at emblems you get. If you don't get emblems, you get tanks that can be converted to more XP. Metal isn't ever in abundance (for some people), but compared to another tank level the benefits of using it to upgrade tanks is so minimal that it hardly even matters if you max out a tank or leave it at zero bonus. And currency is just trash, even compared to metal. Yes, 'eventually' you'll want max level on both your relationship bonuses and your emblems, but you should never go out of your way to work specifically on either if the opportunity cost is that you get less oil.

My lights bring back enough emblems, cores, and currency to keep me comfortably supplied. I can't imagine I'd be able to run all the maps I do with the pittance I'd get from TD/A scouts. And H/M scouts? Forget it.
