Yes, this would have taken fuel, but if we estimate 5% (a rediculously high percentage) of the supply was used in transport, there's still a huge amount left for the army as a whole.

That's funny, I'd always assumed a lead time of around six months too. And around 5% of the fuel being used to transport it. These seem like reasonable figures to me.
