After some hint on the Feedback Forum, I took a look at Truck&Rail stations and noticed that the Fuel efficiency seems to get worse with upgrades. Often cutting that figure in half on the 1st Upgrade.
That is a marked departure from other buildings with a intake resources, wich get more efficient on the resource intake with higher levels. Wich is a main reason to build a higher tier version.

Looking at TruckPoints/Fuel Production Cost
1. 80
2. 40
3. 35.5555
4. 35
5. 35.2
6. 35.5555
7. 35.1020

Same with Maglev/Fuel:
1. 100
2. 58.82
3. 50.72
4. 49.10

I noticed a similar "double output, quadruple upkeep" from 1st to 2nd Airbase level. But with this one it might at least be understandable.

Fuel cost increasing per LIS produced might be the tradeoff for Worker cost decreasing per LIS.

Worker cost actually increases as well. Truck station level 1 are pretty much the most efficient in everything and cheapest.

And the "Economics of Scale" rule indicates both should improove.

Vic propably just messed up the math. It happens.

I'll check on this report soon. Put it on the list. Bit buisy first adding a relatively big new feature. Thanks for reporting.

A big new feature ?!

I haven't checked it for Energy, but this also seems to be the case for Workers for Bureaucrat Offices ?
But then this might be working as designed, since they're one of the rare assets that have an increased with level Worker Upkeep Cost, which makes it even a worse idea to upgrade them to then run them at partial production speed, to try to reap some theoretical efficiency increase...
